NAME

       Jifty::JSON -- Wrapper around JSON

SYNOPSIS

         use Jifty::JSON qw/decode_json encode_json/;

         my $obj  = decode_json(q! { "x": "1", "y": "2", "z": "3" } !);
         my $json = encode_json($obj);

DESCRIPTION

       Provides a thin wrapper around the JSON 2.xx library, which provides a frontend for JSON::XS and
       JSON::PP.

       This module used to wrap JSON::Syck and JSON 1.xx with special-casing for outputting JSON with single
       quoted values.  Single quotes make it easy to simply plop JSON into HTML attributes but are in violation
       of the JSON spec which mandates only double quoted strings.

       The old behavior is now unsupported and it is recommended that you simply HTML escape your entire blob of
       JSON if you are sticking it in an HTML attribute.  You can use Jifty->web->escape() to properly escape
       problematic characters for HTML.

FUNCTIONS

   decode_json JSON, [ARGUMENT HASHREF]
   encode_json JSON, [ARGUMENT HASHREF]
       These functions are just like JSON's, except that you can pass options to them like you can with JSON's
       "from_json" and "to_json" functions.

       By default they encode/decode using UTF8 (like JSON's functions of the same name), but you can turn that
       off by passing "utf8 => 0" in the options.  The allow_nonref flag is also enabled for backwards
       compatibility with earlier versions of this module.  It allows encoding/decoding of values that are not
       references.

       JSON is imported with the "-support_by_pp" flag in order to support all options that JSON::PP provides
       when using JSON::XS as the backend.  If you are concerned with speed, be careful what options you specify
       as it may cause the pure Perl backend to be used.  Read "JSON::PP SUPPORT METHODS" in JSON for more
       information.

DEPRECATED FUNCTIONS

   jsonToObj JSON, [ARGUMENTS]
   objToJson JSON, [ARGUMENTS]
       These functions are deprecated and provided for backwards compatibility.  They wrap the appropriate
       function above, but "croak" in Carp if you try to set the "singlequote" option.
