NAME

Test::Smoke::Util::LoadAJSON - A JSON:PP/JSON::XS Factory Class

SYNOPSIS

use Test::Smoke::Util::LoadAJSON;
my $json = Test::Smoke::Util::LoadAJSON->new->utf8->pretty->encode(\%data);

DESCRIPTION

This is purely a fallback factory class that helps keep our code clean.

This is for people with a clean perl 5.14+ install that have JSON::PP but not JSON. Also people that installed JSON::XS on a pre-5.14 system.

Also checks for $ENV{PERL_JSON_BACKEND} to force either of the two.

my $class = Test::Smoke::Util::LoadAJSON->find_base_class()

On success returns one of: JSON::PP, JSON::XS

Returns undef on failure.

my $obj = Test::Smoke::Util::LoadAJSON->new(<arguments>)

If a base class is found, will return an instantiated object.

This will die() if no base class could be found.
