✨ NAME ✨

okay so this is Test2::Harness::Util::JSON (the page header calls it Test2:...::JSON(3pm), cute abbreviated moment 💅) — it's a utility class that helps Test2::Harness pick the best JSON implementation to use. bestie, it's literally the vibe-checker for your JSON backend 🎀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This package hands you functions for encoding/decoding json, and it uses the best json tools that are available. no cap. it doesn't make you choose — it just picks the good one and slays 🦋

💖 SYNOPSIS 💖

use Test2::Harness::Util::JSON qw/encode_json decode_json/;

my $data = { foo => 1 };
my $json = encode_json($data);
my $copy = decode_json($json);

so you import encode_json and decode_json, shove your data in, and get a string out. then you can turn that string back into data. it's giving round trip ✨

👑 EXPORTS 👑

here's everything you can pull into your namespace, one by one, no skips 🫶

  • $package = JSON() — gives you back the JSON package that yath is actually using. like, the real one. the main character 🔥
  • $bool = JSON_IS_PP() — true if yath is using JSON::PP.
  • $bool = JSON_IS_XS() — true if yath is using JSON::XS.
  • $bool = JSON_IS_CPANEL() — true if yath is using Cpanel::JSON::XS.
  • $bool = JSON_IS_CPANEL_OR_XS() — true if either JSON::XS or Cpanel::JSON::XS are being used. either/or energy, we love to see it 💜
  • $string = encode_json($data) — encodes data into json. the string will be 1-line. compact. efficient. lowkey neat 📏
  • $data = decode_json($string) — decodes json data out of the string. turn that text back into vibes ⭐
  • $string = encode_pretty_json($data) — encodes into human-friendly json. pretty-printed, easy on the eyes, screenshot-worthy 🎀
  • $string = encode_canon_json($data) — encodes into canon-json. canonical, periodt 👑
