NAME autobox::JSON - bringing JSON functions to autobox VERSION version 0.0005 SYNOPSIS use autobox::JSON; say {name => 'Jim', age => 34}->encode_json; # {"name":"Jim","age":46} my $person = '{"name":"Jim","age":46}'->decode_json # {name => 'Jim', age => 34} my $serialized_person = $person->encode_json; # {"name":"Jim","age":46} # works on arrays too [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]->encode_json; METHODS encode_json This method behaves the same as "encode_json" in JSON. encode_json_pretty This method is identical to "encode_json", except that it also "prettifies" the output, making it easier for us mortals to read. This is useful especially when dumping a JSON structure to something reasonable for, say, debug or other purposes. It is functionally the same as: JSON->new->utf8->canonical->pretty->encode($ref) decode_json This method behaves the same as "decode_json" in JSON. DEPRECIATED METHODS to_json (depreciated) This method behaves the same as "to_json" in JSON. This method is depreciated because the JSON documentation itself prefers encode_json. from_json (depreciated) This method behaves the same as "from_json" in JSON. This method is depreciated as the JSON documentation itself prefers decode_json.
