NAME

       Badger::Codec::JSON - encode/decode data using JSON

SYNOPSIS

           use Badger::Codec::JSON;
           my $codec   = Badger::Codec::JSON->new();
           my $encoded = $codec->encode({ msg => "Hello World" });
           my $decoded = $codec->decode($encoded);

DESCRIPTION

       This module implements a subclass of Badger::Codec which uses the JSON::XS or JSON module
       (whichever you have installed) to encode and decode data to and from JSON. It is little
       more than an adapter module to fit JSON into the Badger::Codec mould.

METHODS

   encode($data)
       Encodes the Perl data in $data to a JSON string. This method is a wrapper around the
       internal the encode_json() subroutine.

           $encoded = Badger::Codec::JSON->encode($data);

   decode($json)
       Decodes the encoded JSON string in $json back into a Perl data structure.  This method is
       a wrapper around the internal the decode_json() subroutine.

           $decoded = Badger::Codec::JSON->decode($encoded);

   encoder()
       This method returns a reference to the real subroutine that's doing all the encoding work,
       i.e. the internal "encode_json()" subroutine.

   decoder()
       This method returns a reference to the real subroutine that's doing all the decoding work,
       i.e. the "decode_json()" subroutine in JSON.

INTERNAL SUBROUTINES

   encode_json($data)
       This is the internal subroutine that encodes the JSON data.  It delegates to the JSON::XS
       or JSON module, depending on which you have installed.

   decode_json($json)
       This is the internal subroutine that decodes the JSON data.  As per encode_json(), it
       delegates the task to the JSON::XS or JSON module.
