NAME

JSON::Dumper::Compact - JSON processing with Data::Dumper::Compact aesthetics

SYNOPSIS

  use JSON::Dumper::Compact 'jdc';
  
  my $json = jdc($data);

DESCRIPTION

JSON::Dumper::Compact is a subclass of Data::Dumper::Compact that turns arrayrefs and hashrefs intead into JSON.

Blessed references without a TO_JSON method are rendered as:

  { "__bless__": [
    "The::Class",
    { "the": "object" },
  ] }

METHODS

In addition to the Data::Dumper::Compact methods, we provide:

encode

  JSON::Dumper::Compact->encode($data, \%opts?);
  $jdc->encode($data, \%opts?);

Operates identically to "dump" in Data::Dumper::Compact but named to be less confusing to code expecting a JSON object.

decode

  JSON::Dumper::Compact->decode($string, \%opts?);
  $jdc->decode($string, \%opts);

Runs the supplied string through an JSON::MaybeXS decode with options set to be able to reliably reparse what we can currently format - notably setting relaxed to allow for trailing commas and using filter_json_single_key_object to re-inflate blessed objects.

Note that using this method on untrusted data is a security risk. Don't use debugging specific code on untrusted data, use JSON::MaybeXS or Mojo::JSON directly.

DO NOT USE THIS METHOD ON UNTRUSTED DATA IT WAS NOT DESIGNED TO BE SECURE.
