NAME

Text::TNetstrings - Data serialization using typed netstrings.

VERSION

Version 1.0.1

SYNOPSIS

An implementation of the tagged netstring specification, a simple data interchange format better suited to low-level network communication than JSON. See http://tnetstrings.org/ for more details.

use Text::TNetstrings qw(:all);

my $data = encode_tnetstrings({"foo" => "bar"}) # => "12:3:foo,3:bar,}"
my $hash = decode_tnetstrings($data)            # => {"foo" => "bar"}

EXPORT

encode_tnetstrings($data)
decode_tnetstrings($data)
:all

The "all" tag exports all the above subroutines.

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

encode_tnetstrings($data)

Encode a scalar, hash or array into TNetstring format.

decode_tnetstrings($string)

Decode TNetstring data into the appropriate scalar, hash or array.
