NAME

Data::MessagePack::Types - Utility of value type for Data::MessagePack

SYNOPSIS

use Data::MessagePack;
use Data::MessagePack::Types;

my $data = +{
    foo => msgpack_number "123", # <= force number type (i.e. 123)
    bar => msgpack_string 123, # <= force string type (i.e. '123')
    buz => msgpack_bool 1, # <= force boolean type (i.e. Data::MessagePack::true)
    qux => msgpack_bool 0, # <= force boolean type (i.e. Data::MessagePack::false)
};

my $mp = Data::MessagePack->new();
my $packed = $mp->pack($data);

DESCRIPTION

Data::MessagePack::Types is an utility of value type for Data::MessagePack.

This package provides some functions to convert your type of values to be suitable to msgpack's one.

FUNCTIONS

msgpack_number($val): Number

Force $val to be number type. If $val is '123' that is string type, return value of this function will be 123 that is a pure number (not a string).

This function is exported.

msgpack_string($val): String

Force $val to be string type. If $val is 123 that is number type, return value of this function will be '123' that is a string (not a number).

This function is exported.

msgpack_bool($val): Data::MessagePack::Boolean

Force $val to be boolean type. If $val is false value of perl (e.g. 0, undef, ''), return value of this function will be Data::MessagePack::Boolean that represents false. Conversely, if $val is true value of perl, this function returns Data::MessagePack::Boolean that represents true.

This function is exported.

NOTES

If prefer_integer is set to instance of Data::MessagePack, this package will be neutralized.

THANKS

This package is inspired by JSON::Types and taken almost code from it.
