=head1 NAME
Mojo::JSON - Minimalistic JSON
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Mojo::JSON;
my $json = Mojo::JSON->new;
my $string = $json->encode({foo => [1, 2], bar => 'hello!'});
my $hash = $json->decode('{"foo": [3, -2, 1]}');
=head1 DESCRIPTION
L<Mojo::JSON> is a minimalistic and relaxed implementation of RFC 4627.
While it is possibly the fastest pure-Perl JSON parser available, you should
not use it for validation.
It supports normal Perl data types like C<Scalar>, C<Array>, C<Hash> and will
try to stringify blessed references.
[1, -2, 3] -> [1, -2, 3]
{"foo": "bar"} -> {foo => 'bar'}
Literal names will be translated to and from L<Mojo::JSON> constants or a
similar native Perl value.
true -> Mojo::JSON->true
false -> Mojo::JSON->false
null -> undef
Decoding UTF-16 (LE/BE) and UTF-32 (LE/BE) will be handled transparently,
encoding will only generate UTF-8.
The two unicode whitespace characters C<u2028> and C<u2029> will always be
escaped to make JSONP easier.
=head1 ATTRIBUTES
L<Mojo::JSON> implements the following attributes.
=head2 C<error>
my $error = $json->error;
$json = $json->error('Oops!');
Parser errors.
=head1 METHODS
L<Mojo::JSON> inherits all methods from L<Mojo::Base> and implements the
following new ones.
=head2 C<decode>
my $array = $json->decode('[1, 2, 3]');
my $hash = $json->decode('{"foo": "bar"}');
Decode JSON string.
=head2 C<encode>
my $string = $json->encode({foo => 'bar'});
Encode Perl structure.
=head2 C<false>
my $false = Mojo::JSON->false;
my $false = $json->false;
False value, used because Perl has no native equivalent.
=head2 C<true>
my $true = Mojo::JSON->true;
my $true = $json->true;
True value, used because Perl has no native equivalent.
