NAME

       Mojo::JSON - Minimalistic JSON

SYNOPSIS

	 use Mojo::JSON;

	 my $json  = Mojo::JSON->new;
	 my $bytes = $json->encode({foo => [1, 2], bar => 'hello!'});
	 my $hash  = $json->decode($bytes);

DESCRIPTION

       Mojo::JSON is a minimalistic and relaxed implementation of RFC 4627. While it is possibly the fastest pure-Perl JSON parser available, you
       should not use it for validation.

       It supports normal Perl data types like "Scalar", "Array" reference, "Hash" reference and will try to call the "TO_JSON" method on blessed
       references, or stringify them if it doesn't exist.

	 [1, -2, 3]	-> [1, -2, 3]
	 {"foo": "bar"} -> {foo => 'bar'}

       Literal names will be translated to and from Mojo::JSON constants or a similar native Perl value.

	 true  -> Mojo::JSON->true
	 false -> Mojo::JSON->false
	 null  -> undef

       Decoding UTF-16 (LE/BE) and UTF-32 (LE/BE) will be handled transparently, encoding will only generate UTF-8. The two unicode whitespace
       characters "u2028" and "u2029" will always be escaped to make JSONP easier.

ATTRIBUTES

       Mojo::JSON implements the following attributes.

   "error"
	 my $err = $json->error;
	 $json	 = $json->error('Oops!');

       Parser errors.

METHODS

       Mojo::JSON inherits all methods from Mojo::Base and implements the following new ones.

   "decode"
	 my $array = $json->decode($bytes);
	 my $hash  = $json->decode($bytes);

       Decode JSON.

   "encode"
	 my $bytes = $json->encode({foo => 'bar'});

       Encode Perl structure.

   "false"
	 my $false = Mojo::JSON->false;
	 my $false = $json->false;

       False value, used because Perl has no native equivalent.

   "true"
	 my $true = Mojo::JSON->true;
	 my $true = $json->true;

       True value, used because Perl has no native equivalent.
