NAME
Mojo::JSON - Minimalistic JSON
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]}');DESCRIPTION
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 Scalar, Array, 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 Mojo::JSON constants or a similar native Perl value.
true -> Mojo::JSON->true
false -> Mojo::JSON->false
null -> undefDecoding UTF-16 (LE/BE) and UTF-32 (LE/BE) will be handled transparently, encoding will only generate UTF-8. The two unicode whitespace characters u2028 and u2029 will always be escaped to make JSONP easier.
ATTRIBUTES
Mojo::JSON implements the following attributes.
error
my $error = $json->error;
$json = $json->error('Oops!');Parser errors.
METHODS
Mojo::JSON inherits all methods from Mojo::Base and implements the following new ones.
decode
my $array = $json->decode('[1, 2, 3]');
my $hash = $json->decode('{"foo": "bar"}');Decode JSON string.
encode
my $string = $json->encode({foo => 'bar'});Encode Perl structure.
false
my $false = Mojo::JSON->false;
my $false = $json->false;False value, used because Perl has no native equivalent.
true
my $true = Mojo::JSON->true;
my $true = $json->true;True value, used because Perl has no native equivalent.
