NAME

FP::JSON

SYNOPSIS

    use FP::JSON qw(to_json);

    my $settings = {
        output_format => "JSON", # or "Mint"
        auto_numbers  => 1,
        auto_integers => 0,
    };

    use FP::List;
    is to_json([10, list(20,30), {40=> "foo", bar=> 50}], $settings),
       '[
    10,
    [
    20,
    30
    ],
    {
    _40: "foo",
    bar: 50
    }
    ]';

DESCRIPTION

Currently just provides `to_json` to turn some kinds of data into a JSON or Mint language string. This module will need some work for more serious use.

This somewhat consciously is not implemented as a class--nonetheless, the $settings argument to `to_json` is basically $self. Still, isn't it neat how few changes one needs to do from procedural code this way (Ok, all 3 functions now take the settings, though), and there's no need to use a constructor, just bare "data", which is quite en vogue (again) today (e.g. in Clojure, Elixir).
