Config::Model::Backend::Json

Read and write config as a JSON data structure

version 2.082

 use Config::Model ;
 use Data::Dumper ;
 # define configuration tree object
 my $model = Config::Model->new ;
 $model ->create_config_class (
    name => "MyClass",
    element => [
        [qw/foo bar/] => {
            type => 'leaf',
            value_type => 'string'
        },
        baz => {
            type => 'hash',
            index_type => 'string' ,
            cargo => {
                type => 'leaf',
                value_type => 'string',
            },
        },
    ],
  read_config  => [
                    { backend => 'Json' ,
                      config_dir => '/tmp',
                      file  => 'foo.json',
                      auto_create => 1,
                    }
                  ],
 ) ;
 my $inst = $model->instance(root_class_name => 'MyClass' );
 my $root = $inst->config_root ;
 my $step = 'foo=yada bar="bla bla" baz:en=hello
             baz:fr=bonjour baz:hr="dobar dan"';
 $root->load( step => $step ) ;
 $inst->write_back ;

Now, "/tmp/foo.yml" contains:

 {
   "bar" : "bla bla",
   "foo" : "yada",
   "baz" : {
      "hr" : "dobar dan",
      "en" : "hello",
      "fr" : "bonjour"
   }
 }

This module is used directly by Config::Model to read or write the content of a configuration tree written with Json syntax in "Config::Model" configuration tree.

Note that undefined values are skipped for list element. I.e. if a list element contains "('a',undef,'b')", the data structure will contain 'a','b'.

Inherited from Config::Model::Backend::Any. The constructor will be called by Config::Model::BackendMgr.

Of all parameters passed to this read call-back, only "io_handle" is used. This parameter must be IO::File object already opened for read.

It can also be undef. In this case, "read()" will return 0.

When a file is read, "read()" will return 1.

Of all parameters passed to this write call-back, only "io_handle" is used. This parameter must be IO::File object already opened for write.

"write()" will return 1.
