NAME

Acme::MooseX::JSON - Moose objects that are internally blessed scalar refs containing JSON

SYNOPSIS

   {
      package Local::Person;
      use Acme::MooseX::JSON;
      has name => (is => 'rw', isa => 'Str');
   }
   
   my $object = Local::Person->new(name => "Bob");
   print $$object;  # JSON

DESCRIPTION

This Moose extension is akin to MooseX::InsideOut, MooseX::GlobRef and MooseX::ArrayRef in that it allows you to create Moose classes where the instances aren't blessed hashes.

However, unlike those fine modules, Acme::MooseX::JSON chooses just about the most insane way of implementing an instance's internals possible: they're serialized as a JSON string, which is then used as a blessed scalar reference.

The use of JSON to serialize the object's internals places fairly strong restrictions on what kind of data can be held in the object's attributes. Strings, numbers and undef are all OK; arrayrefs and hashrefs are OK provided you don't create cyclical data structures, and provided they don't contain any non-OK data as values.

This module requires JSON 2.00+ and Moose 2.00+ to be installed.
