NAME

JSON::Util - easy and portable encode/decode of JSON

SYNOPSIS

use JSON::Util;
$data = JSON::Util->decode('{"bar": "foo"}');
$data = JSON::Util->decode('some.json');
JSON::Util->encode({ 'foo' => 'bar' }, 'someother.json');

$data = JSON::Util->decode(['..', 'folder', some.json]);
JSON::Util->encode([123,321], ['..', 'folder', someother.json]);

print JSON::Util->encode([987,789]), "\n";
print JSON::Util->encode({987 => 789}), "\n";

my $json = JSON::Util->new(pretty => 0, convert_blessed => 1);
print $json->encode([ $object, $object2 ]);

# with file locking
$data = JSON::Util->decode(['..', 'folder', some.json], { 'LOCK_SH' => 1 });
$data = JSON::Util->decode(['..', 'folder', some.json], { 'LOCK_SH' => 1, LOCK_NB => 1 });
JSON::Util->encode([123,321], ['..', 'folder', someother.json], { 'LOCK_EX' => 1 });
JSON::Util->encode([123,321], ['..', 'folder', someother.json], { 'LOCK_EX' => 1, LOCK_NB => 1 });

DESCRIPTION

METHODS

new()

Object constructor. Needed only when the "default_json" configuration needs to be changed. Any key/value passed as parameter will be called on <JSON::MaybeXS-new()>> as <$json-$key($value)>>.

default_json

Returns <JSON::MaybeXS-new()>> with:

'utf8'            => 1,
'pretty'          => 1,
'convert_blessed' => 1,

json

Returns current JSON::MaybeXS object.

decode($what, [$opt])

Return ref with decoded $what. See IO::Any for $where and $opt description.

encode($data, [$where], [$opt])

Returns encoded $data. If $where is passed then the result is written there. See IO::Any for $where and $opt description.
