Search...r::JSON(3pm)

💖 Search::Elasticsearch::Serializer::JSON 💖

okay bestie, this is Search::Elasticsearch::Serializer::JSON — the default JSON Serializer, and it's out here doing its thing with JSON::MaybeXS. no cap. 🎀

---

✨ VERSION ✨

version 8.12 — she's giving current, she's giving slay 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

$e = Search::Elasticsearch(
    # serializer => 'JSON'
);

like... that's it. that's the whole vibe. the default already is 'JSON', so you don't even gotta say it (iykyk). 🌸

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So this default Serializer class is lowkey a little matchmaker — it picks between three whole JSON backends like it's casting a main character:

• Cpanel::JSON::XS
• JSON::XS
• JSON::PP

Here's the tea on how it chooses 🍓:

First, it peeks to see if either Cpanel::JSON::XS or JSON::XS is already loaded — and if one of them is, boom, it just uses the appropriate backend right then and there. no drama, no loading anything new. ✨

Otherwise? It goes down the list and tries to load them in order: first Cpanel::JSON::XS, then JSON::XS, and finally JSON::PP. so if the fancy ones aren't around, JSON::PP is there as the reliable bestie who always shows up. 🫶

But wait — what if you're picky and you want a specific JSON backend? iconic of you, honestly. You can do that by using one of these modules instead:

• Search::Elasticsearch::Serializer::JSON::Cpanel
• Search::Elasticsearch::Serializer::JSON::XS
• Search::Elasticsearch::Serializer::JSON::PP

See their documentation for the details, babe — they each got their own whole thing going on. 📖
