NAME

       PGObject::Type::JSON - JSON wrappers for PGObject

VERSION

       Version 2.0.1

SYNOPSIS

          PGOBject::Type::JSON->register();

       Columns of type json will be converted into hashrefs

          my $obj =  PGOBject::Type::JSON->new($hashref);

       $obj will now serialize to the database as json.

DESCRIPTION

       This module allows json types or others (specified by custom register) types to be
       converted from JSON into objects according to their values.

       This module assumes that encoding will be in UTF8 across the board and is not safe to use
       with other database encodings.

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

   register(registry => 'default', types => ['json'])
   new($ref)
       Stores this as a reference.  Currently database nulls are stored as cyclical references
       which is probably a bad idea.  In the future we should probably have a lexically scoped
       table for this.

   from_db
       serializes from the db. Note that database nulls are preserved distinct from json null's.

   to_db
       returns undef if is_null.  Otherwise returns the value encoded as JSON

   reftype
       Returns the reftype of the object (i.e. HASH, SCALAR, ARRAY)

   is_null
       Returns true if is a database null.
