Mojo::JSON - Minimalistic JSON
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]}');
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 reference, Hash reference and will try to call the TO_JSON method on blessed references, or stringify them if it doesn't exist.
[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 -> 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 u2028 and u2029 will always be escaped to make JSONP easier.
Mojo::JSON implements the following attributes.
my $err = $json->error;
$json = $json->error('Oops!');
Parser errors.
Mojo::JSON inherits all methods from Mojo::Base and implements the following new ones.
my $array = $json->decode('[1, 2, 3]');
my $hash = $json->decode('{"foo": "bar"}');
Decode JSON string.
my $string = $json->encode({foo => 'bar'});
Encode Perl structure.
my $false = Mojo::JSON->false; my $false = $json->false;
False value, used because Perl has no native equivalent.
my $true = Mojo::JSON->true; my $true = $json->true;
True value, used because Perl has no native equivalent.
