NAME

       JSON::Pointer - A Perl implementation of JSON Pointer (RFC6901)

VERSION

       This document describes JSON::Pointer version 0.07.

SYNOPSIS

         use JSON::Pointer;

         my $obj = {
           foo => 1,
           bar => [ { qux => "hello" }, 3 ],
           baz => { boo => [ 1, 3, 5, 7 ] }
         };

         JSON::Pointer->get($obj, "/foo");       ### $obj->{foo}
         JSON::Pointer->get($obj, "/bar/0");     ### $obj->{bar}[0]
         JSON::Pointer->get($obj, "/bar/0/qux"); ### $obj->{bar}[0]{qux}
         JSON::Pointer->get($obj, "/bar/1");     ### $obj->{bar}[1]
         JSON::Pointer->get($obj, "/baz/boo/2"); ### $obj->{baz}{boo}[2]

DESCRIPTION

       This library is implemented JSON Pointer (<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6901>) and some
       useful operator from JSON Patch (<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6902>).

       JSON Pointer is available to identify a specified value in JSON document, and it is
       simillar to XPath.  Please read the both of specifications for details.

METHODS

   get($document :HashRef/ArrayRef/Scalar, $pointer :Str, $strict :Int) :Scalar
       $document :HashRef/ArrayRef/Scalar
           Target perl data structure that is able to be presented by JSON format.

       $pointer :Str
           JSON Pointer string to identify specified value in the document.

       $strict :Int
           Strict mode. When this value equals true value, this method may throw exception on
           error.  When this value equals false value, this method return undef value on error.

       Get specified value identified by $pointer from $document.  For example,

         use JSON::Pointer;
         print JSON::Pointer->get({ foo => 1, bar => { "qux" => "hello" } }, "/bar/qux"); ### hello

   get_relative($document :HashRef/ArrayRef/Scalar, $current_pointer :Str, $relative_pointer
       :Str, $strict :Int) :Scalar
       This method is highly EXPERIMENTAL. Because this method depends on
       <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-luff-relative-json-pointer-00> draft spec.

       $document :HashRef/ArrayRef/Scalar
           Target perl data structure that is able to be presented by JSON format.

       $current_pointer : Str
           JSON Pointer string to identify specified current position in the document.

       $relative_pointer : Str
           JSON Relative Pointer string to identify specified value from current position in the
           document

       $strict :Int
           Strict mode. When this value equals true value, this method may throw exception on
           error.  When this value equals false value, this method return undef value on error.

   contains($document :HashRef/ArrayRef/Scalar, $pointer :Str) :Int
       $document :HashRef/ArrayRef/Scalar
           Target perl data structure that is able to present by JSON format.

       $pointer :Str
           JSON Pointer string to identify specified value in the document.

       Return which the target location identified by $pointer exists or not in the $document.

         use JSON::Pointer;

         my $document = { foo => 1 };
         if (JSON::Pointer->contains($document, "/foo")) {
           print "/foo exists";
         }

   add($document :HashRef/ArrayRef/Scalar, $pointer :Str, $value :HashRef/ArrayRef/Scalar)
       :HashRef/ArrayRef/Scalar
       $document :HashRef/ArrayRef/Scalar
           Target perl data structure that is able to be presented by JSON format.

       $pointer :Str
           JSON Pointer string to identify specified value in the document.

       $value :HashRef/ArrayRef/Scalar
           The perl data structure that is able to be presented by JSON format.

       Add specified $value on target location identified by $pointer in the $document.  For
       example,

         use JSON::Pointer;

         my $document = +{ foo => 1, };
         my $value = +{ qux => "hello" };

         my $patched_document = JSON::Pointer->add($document, "/bar", $value);
         print $patched_document->{bar}{qux}; ### hello

   remove($document, $pointer) :Array/Scalar
       $document :HashRef/ArrayRef/Scalar
           Target perl data structure that is able to be presented by JSON format.

       $pointer :Str
           JSON Pointer string to identify specified value in the document.

       Remove target location identified by $pointer in the $document.

         use JSON::Pointer;

         my $document = { foo => 1 };
         my $patched_document = JSON::Pointer->remove($document, "/foo");
         unless (exists $patched_document->{foo}) {
           print "removed /foo";
         }

       This method is contextial return value. When the return value of wantarray equals true,
       return $patched_document and $removed_value, or not return $patched_document only.

   replace($document :HashRef/ArrayRef/Scalar, $pointer :Str, $value :HashRef/ArrayRef/Scalar)
       :Array/HashRef/ArrayRef/Scalar
       $document :HashRef/ArrayRef/Scalar
           Target perl data structure that is able to be presented by JSON format.

       $pointer :Str
           JSON Pointer string to identify specified value in the document.

       $value :HashRef/ArrayRef/Scalar
           The perl data structure that is able to be presented by JSON format.

       Replace the value of target location specified by $pointer to the $value in the $document.

         use JSON::Pointer;

         my $document = { foo => 1 };
         my $patched_document = JSON::Pointer->replace($document, "/foo", 2);
         print $patched_document->{foo}; ## 2

       This method is contextial return value. When the return value of wantarray equals true,
       return $patched_document and $replaced_value, or not return $patched_document only.

   set($document :HashRef/ArrayRef/Scalar, $pointer :Str, $value :HashRef/ArrayRef/Scalar)
       :Array/HashRef/ArrayRef/Scalar
       This method is alias of replace method.

   copy($document :HashRef/ArrayRef/Scalar, $from_pointer :Str, $to_pointer :Str)
       :HashRef/ArrayRef/Scalar
       $document :HashRef/ArrayRef/Scalar
           Target perl data structure that is able to be presented by JSON format.

       $from_pointer :Str
           JSON Pointer string to identify specified value in the document.

       $to_pointer :Str
           JSON Pointer string to identify specified value in the document.

       Copy the value identified by $from_pointer to target location identified by $to_pointer.
       For example,

         use JSON::Pointer;

         my $document = +{ foo => [ { qux => "hello" } ], bar => [ 1 ] };
         my $patched_document = JSON::Pointer->copy($document, "/foo/0/qux", "/bar/-");
         print $patched_document->{bar}[1]; ## hello

       Note that "-" notation means next of last element in the array.  In this example, "-"
       means 1.

   move($document :HashRef/ArrayRef/Scalar, $from_pointer :Str, $to_pointer :Str)
       :HashRef/ArrayRef/Scalar
       $document :HashRef/ArrayRef/Scalar
           Target perl data structure that is able to be presented by JSON format.

       $from_pointer :Str
           JSON Pointer string to identify specified value in the document.

       $to_pointer :Str
           JSON Pointer string to identify specified value in the document.

       Move the value identified by $from_pointer to target location identified by $to_pointer.
       For example,

         use JSON;
         use JSON::Pointer;

         my $document = +{ foo => [ { qux => "hello" } ], bar => [ 1 ] };
         my $patched_document = JSON::Pointer->move($document, "/foo/0/qux", "/bar/-");
         print encode_json($patched_document); ## {"bar":[1,"hello"],"foo":[{}]}

   test($document :HashRef/ArrayRef/Scalar, $pointer :Str, $value :HashRef/ArrayRef/Scalar) :Int
       $document :HashRef/ArrayRef/Scalar
           Target perl data structure that is able to be presented by JSON format.

       $pointer :Str
           JSON Pointer string to identify specified value in the document.

       $value :HashRef/ArrayRef/Scalar
           The perl data structure that is able to be presented by JSON format.

       Return which the value identified by $pointer equals $value or not in the $document.  This
       method distinguish type of each values.

         use JSON::Pointer;

         my $document = { foo => 1 };

         print JSON::Pointer->test($document, "/foo", 1); ### 1
         print JSON::Pointer->test($document, "/foo", "1"); ### 0

   traverse($document, $pointer, $opts) : JSON::Pointer::Context
       This method is used as internal implementation only.
