NAME

Inline::JSON - Embed JSON data structures directly into your Perl code

SYNOPSIS

use Inline::JSON;

my $json = json: {
    "name":   "Awesome",
    "title":  "Mr.",
    "skills": [
        "Nunchucking",
        "Bowhunting",
        "Computer Hacking",
        "Being Awesome",
    ]
};

use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper($json);

Yields the following output:

DESCRIPTION

JSON is a data specification format used for interoperability with a multitude of languages. Sometimes you have a chunk of YAML that you need to turn into Perl code. This module allows you to specify that code inline within your perl program. It is syntactic sugar on top of the existing JSON module, you could just as easily say:

my $json = JSON->new->decode('{
    // JSON code here
}');

Which is what the module is doing internally, it just looks nicer.

CAVEATS

This module uses simple balanced curly bracket matching to determine the end of the chunk of JSON code, and does not pay attention to quotes. If you have curly braces embedded in the strings in your JSON code, it can cause the filter to misinterpret the end of the JSON.

If you'd like to see what the chunk of perl code looks like after the source filter has been run on it, set the variable $Inline::JSON::DEBUG to a true value.
