JSON::Create::PP(3)

💖 JSON::Create::PP 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is the pure-Perl twin of JSON::Create, and it lives in section 3 of the manual (User Contributed Perl Documentation, iykyk). she's the understudy who knows every line. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

JSON::Create::PP — the Pure-Perl version of JSON::Create. no XS, no compiler drama, just vibes and Perl. 🦋

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea: this is the backup module for JSON::Create. JSON::Create is written using Perl XS (fancy C stuff under the hood, very main character energy), but JSON::Create::PP serves up the exact same functionality without the XS. 💅

same job, same energy, zero XS. periodt. 👑

🧚 DEPENDENCIES 🧚

she doesn't do it alone, she's got a whole group chat:

• B — yes, that's the whole entry, no notes, it's just B. 💀
• Carp — this is what gets used to report errors. when something goes wrong, Carp is the one telling you, bestie. 😭
• Scalar::Util — used to tell strings apart from numbers, to detect objects, and to break encapsulation. yes, break encapsulation, she said what she said. 🫶
• Unicode::UTF8 — this handles conversion to and from character strings. all the encoding glow-up happens here. ✨

💀 BUGS 💀

listen, we gotta be honest:

Printing of floating point numbers cannot be made to work exactly like the XS version.

so the float printing is not a perfect match to the XS one. it just can't be. that's the limit, no cap. 🙈

and that's the whole page, babe! 🍓 this was perl v5.42.2, dated 2026-04-07, for JSON::Create::PP(3). go forth and create JSON, you gorgeous creature. 💜🌈⭐
