NAME
UserAgent::Any::JSON – Specialization of UserAgent::Any for JSON APIs.
SYNOPSIS
my $json_client = UserAgent::Any::JSON::New->new(LWP::UserAgent->new(%options));
my $res_data = $json_client->get($url, \%url_params, \%req_data, \%headers);DESCRIPTION
UserAgent::Any::JSON is a generic client (user agent) for JSON based API, built on top of UserAgent::Any. As such, it supports synchronous and asynchronous calls and can use many different user agent libraries.
See the UserAgent::Any documentation for the list of supported user agents, their semantics, and limitations.
Constructor
my $json_client = UserAgent::Any::JSON->new($underlying_ua);Builds a new UserAgent::Any::JSON object wrapping the given underlying user agent. The wrapped object must be an instance of a supported user agent.
User agent methods
get, head, delete
my $res_data = $json_client->get($url, %headers);
$json_client->get_cb($url, %headers)->($cb);
my $promise = $json_client->get_p($url, %headers);Execute a GET HTTP request to the given url. The arguments are exactly the same as for the equivalent method in UserAgent::Any. The only difference is that the response is returned as a UserAgent::Any::JSON::Response object (either directly in the synchronous method or passed to the callback or the promise in the asynchronous methods).
The head and delete methods have the exact same behavior, but using the HEAD and DELETE HTTP verbs.
See the documentation of get() in UserAgent::Any for the details on the asynchronous behavior of the callback and promise versions of this method (and of all the other methods of this class).
post, patch, put
my $res_data = $json_client->post($url, %headers, \%body);
$json_client->post_cb($url, %headers, \%body)->($cb);
my $promise = $json_client->post_p($url, %headers, \%body);This is similar to the get method but using the POST, PATCH, and PUT HTTP verbs. In addition, like the similar methods in UserAgent::Any they take a last parameter for the request body. Here, this parameter should be a reference to a Perl data-structure that will be JSON encoded with the JSON::to_json function.
