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::XS-'new()>> as `<$json-'$key($value)>>.

default_json
Returns `<JSON::XS-'new()>> with:

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

json
Returns current JSON::XS 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 `$where' is passed then then the result is written there. See IO::Any for `$where' and `$opt' description.
