KiokuD...e::JSON(3pm)

💖 KiokuDB::Backend::Serialize::JSON 💖

okay bestie so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, and it's all about KiokuDB::Backend::Serialize::JSON, a role that serializes entries into JSON strings using KiokuDB::Backend::Serialize::JSPON semantics. yes, that's a mouthful, we'll get through it together 🫶

---

✨ VERSION ✨

version 0.57 — no cap, that's the one 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

the vibe, in code:

with qw(KiokuDB::Backend::Serialize::JSON);

sub foo {
    my ( $self, $entry ) = @_;

    my $json_string = $self->serialize($entry);
}

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea 🍓 — this role is the glow-up layer. It gives backends extra convenience attributes and methods for backends that encode entries into JSON strings, and it sits on top of KiokuDB::Backend::Serialize::JSPON, which is the one that only restructures the data (JSPON does the restructuring, this role does the JSON-string-ifying, iykyk).

and like... pro tip: KiokuDB::Backend::Serialize::Delegate is preferred over using this directly. so if you were about to rawdog it, maybe don't 💀

---

👑 METHODS 👑

• serialize $entry — returns a JSON string ✨
• deserialize $json_str — returns a KiokuDB::Entry 💖

---

🌈 ATTRIBUTES 🌈

• json — the JSON instance used to encode/decode the JSON. it's literally the whole engine of the operation 🚂
• pretty — whether or not to pass the "pretty" flag to the JSON object after construction. yes, it's giving aesthetic. yes, it matters 💅
