💖 Dancer::Serializer::JSON — bestie edition 💖

okay so you're reading the manual page for Dancer::Serializer::JSON (a 3pm page, iykyk) and honestly? it's giving "small but mighty." let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

Dancer::Serializer::JSON — the serializer that handles your JSON data. that's the whole job. and it ate. 💅

🌸 VERSION 🌸

this is version 1.3522 — very much the version we're talking about, no cap.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

so… there's literally nothing here. the SYNOPSIS section is empty. iconic of it, honestly. the real tea is all down in DESCRIPTION, so keep scrolling 🌈

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so this class is the lil interface between Dancer's serializer engine abstraction layer and the JSON module. like, it's the middle bestie making the introduction. 🤝

to actually use this engine, you set the template setting:

serializer: JSON

and you can do that either in your config.yml file or directly in your app code using the set keyword. easy. also — plot twist — this serializer will also get used when the serializer is set to mutable and the correct Accept headers are supplied. so yes, it's showing up uninvited, but in a helpful way. 💖

the JSON module will pass configuration variables straight through, which is lowkey so useful. some of them are genuinely amazing when you're debugging/developing your app: that's pretty and canonical. and some others are super handy with ORMs like DBIx::Class: that's allow_blessed and convert_blessed.

bestie, for more info and a full list of configuration settings, please consult the JSON documentation. don't guess, just read it. 📚

to turn these on, you add extra settings to the engine's configuration. like this, for example:

engines:
    JSON:
        allow_blessed:   '1'
        canonical:       '1'
        convert_blessed: '1'

look at that. chef's kiss. 🧚
