NAME

JSON_File - Tie a hash or an array to a JSON

VERSION

version 0.004

SYNOPSIS

  use JSON_File;

  tie( my %data, 'JSON_File', 'data.json' );

  $data{key} = "value"; # data directly stored in file
  print $data{key};     # data is always read from file, not cached

  $data{hash} = { attribute => "value" };
  # DON'T set $data{hash}->{attribute} directly, it will not get saved

  tie( my @array, 'JSON_File', 'array.json' );

  push @array, "value";

  # you can enable functions of the JSON object:

  tie( my %other, 'JSON_File', 'other.json',
    pretty => 1,
    allow_unknown => 1,
    allow_blessed => 1,
    convert_blessed => 1,
  );

DESCRIPTION

This module is allowing you to bind a perl hash or array to a file. The data is always read directly from the file and also directly written to the file. This means also that if you add several keys to the hash or several elements to the array, that every key and every element will let the complete json file be rewritten.
