Test::JSON::Meta

NOTICE

Please note that this distribution has now been replaced by Test-CPAN-Meta-JSON.

DESCRIPTION

Validation of the META.json file in a CPAN distribution.

This module was written to ensure that a META.json file, provided with a standard distribution uploaded to CPAN, meets the specifications that are slowly being introduced to module uploads, via the use of package makers and installers such as ExtUtils::MakeMaker, Module::Build and Module::Install.

Current CPAN META Specification, 2.0, was finally approved in April 2010, which forms the basis for the contents of a META.json file. The full specification is now included with the CPAN-Meta distribution.
