XS::Boolean(3)
π XS::Boolean(3) β the little dummy module that could π
okay so bestie, welcome to XS::Boolean(3) β¨ β the manual page for JSON::XS::Boolean, and honestly? it's giving "background character who's only here for one scene but ate." let's get into it π«Ά
β¨ NAME β¨
JSON::XS::Boolean β a dummy module providing JSON::XS::Boolean π
like, that's the whole job. it's a decoy. a placeholder. a little cardboard cutout of a module and we love her for it πΈ
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
# do not "use" yourself
no cap, that comment is the entire synopsis π. you don't use this yourself β it just sits there existing. do not hit it with a use. it's not for you, it's for them (the modules, you'll see) π
π DESCRIPTION π
okay so here's the lore π
This module exists only to provide overload resolution for Storable and similar modules. that's it, that's the whole personality. it's not doing tricks, it's not parsing JSON, it's just standing there being overload-resolvable so other modules can vibe-check it π§
it's only needed for compatibility with data that was serialised by other modules (such as Storable) and that was decoded by JSON::XS versions before 3.0. old data, old vibes, you know how it is π
Since 3.0, JSON::PP::Boolean has replaced it. so this whole module is lowkey a legacy icon at this point π
β οΈ heads up bestie: support for JSON::XS::Boolean will be removed in a future release. so like, don't get too attached. it's on its way out π
