1Revision history for Perl extension JSON::XS 1Revision history for Perl extension JSON::XS
2 2
3TODO: maybe use some overload magic to decode true and false into something 3TODO: maybe detetc and croak on more invalid inputs (e.g. +-inf/nan)
4 not 0 or 1 in perl. or use attached magic? 4TODO: maybe avoid the reblessing and better support readonly objects.
5TODO: get rid of dynamic arrays to support so-called C compilers
6 by fucking microsoft that do not do C. argl, snprintf is also
7 missing.
8 5
6 - add bencode as to/from option in bin/json_xs.
7 - add -e option to json_xs, and none and string in/out formats.
8
92.32 Thu Aug 11 19:06:38 CEST 2011
10 - fix a bug in the initial whitespace accumulation.
11
122.31 Wed Jul 27 17:53:05 CEST 2011
13 - don't accumulate initial whitespace in the incremental buffer
14 (this can be useful to allow whitespace-keepalive on a tcp
15 connection without triggering the max_size limit).
16 - properly croak on some invalid inputs that are not strings
17 (e.g. undef) when trying to decode a json text (reported
18 and analyzed by Goro Fuji).
19
202.3 Wed Aug 18 01:26:47 CEST 2010
21 - make sure decoder doesn't change the decoding in the incremental
22 parser (testcase provided by Hendrik Schumacher).
23 - applied patch by DaTa for Data::Dumper support in json_xs.
24 - added -t dump support to json_xs, using Data::Dump.
25 - added -f eval support to json_xs.
26
272.29 Wed Mar 17 02:39:12 CET 2010
28 - fix a memory leak when callbacks set using filter_json_object
29 or filter_json_single_key_object were called (great testcase
30 by Eric Wilhelm).
31
322.28 Thu Mar 11 20:30:46 CET 2010
33 - implement our own atof function - perl's can be orders of
34 magnitudes slower than even the system one. on the positive
35 side, ours seems to be more exact in general than perl's.
36 (testcase provided by Tim Meadowcroft).
37 - clarify floating point conversion issues a bit.
38 - update jpsykes csrf article url.
39 - updated benchmark section - JSON::PP became much faster!
40
412.27 Thu Jan 7 07:35:08 CET 2010
42 - support relaxed option inside the incremental parser
43 (testcase provided by IKEGAMI via Makamaka).
44
452.26 Sat Oct 10 03:26:19 CEST 2009
46 - big integers could become truncated (based on patch
47 by Strobl Anton).
48 - output format change: indent now adds a final newline, which is
49 more expected and more true to the documentation.
50
512.25 Sat Aug 8 12:04:41 CEST 2009
52 - the perl debugger completely breaks lvalue subs - try to work
53 around the issue.
54 - ignore RMAGICAL hashes w.r.t. CANONICAL.
55 - try to work around a possible char signedness issue on aix.
56 - require common sense.
57
582.24 Sat May 30 08:25:45 CEST 2009
59 - the incremental parser did not update its parse offset
60 pointer correctly when parsing utf8-strings (nicely
61 debugged by Martin Evans).
62 - appending a non-utf8-string to the incremental parser
63 in utf8 mode failed to upgrade the string.
64 - wording of parse error messages has been improved.
65
662.232 Sun Feb 22 11:12:25 CET 2009
67 - use an exponential algorithm to extend strings, to
68 help platforms with bad or abysmal==windows memory
69 allocater performance, at the expense of some memory
70 wastage (use shrink to recover this extra memory).
71 (nicely analysed by Dmitry Karasik).
72
732.2311 Thu Feb 19 02:12:54 CET 2009
74 - add a section "JSON and ECMAscript" to explain some
75 incompatibilities between the two (problem was noted by
76 various people).
77 - add t/20_faihu.t.
78
792.231 Thu Nov 20 04:59:08 CET 2008
80 - work around 5.10.0 magic bugs where manipulating magic values
81 (such as $1) would permanently damage them as perl would
82 ignore the magicalness, by making a full copy of the string,
83 reported by Dmitry Karasik.
84 - work around spurious warnings under older perl 5.8's.
85
862.23 Mon Sep 29 05:08:29 CEST 2008
87 - fix a compilation problem when perl is not using char * as, well,
88 char *.
89 - use PL_hexdigit in favour of rolling our own.
90
912.2222 Sun Jul 20 18:49:00 CEST 2008
92 - same game again, broken 5.10 finds yet another assertion
93 failure, and the workaround causes additional runtime warnings.
94 Work around the next assertion AND the warning. 5.10 seriously
95 needs to adjust it's attitude against working code.
96
972.222 Sat Jul 19 06:15:34 CEST 2008
98 - you work around one -DDEBUGGING assertion bug in perl 5.10
99 just to hit the next one. work around this one, too.
100
1012.22 Tue Jul 15 13:26:51 CEST 2008
102 - allow higher nesting levels in incremental parser.
103 - error out earlier in some cases in the incremental parser
104 (as suggested by Yuval Kogman).
105 - improve incr-parser test (Yuval Kogman).
106
1072.21 Tue Jun 3 08:43:23 CEST 2008
108 - (hopefully) work around a perl 5.10 bug with -DDEBUGGING.
109 - remove the experimental status of the incremental parser interface.
110 - move =encoding around again, to avoid bugs with search.cpan.org.
111 when can we finally have utf-8 in pod???
112 - add ->incr_reset method.
113
1142.2 Wed Apr 16 20:37:25 CEST 2008
115 - lifted the log2 rounding restriction of max_depth and max_size.
116 - make booleans mutable by creating a copy instead of handing out
117 the same scalar (reported by pasha sadri).
118 - added support for incremental json parsing (still EXPERIMENTAL).
119 - implemented and added a json_xs command line utility that can convert
120 from/to a number of serialisation formats - tell me if you need more.
121 - implement allow_unknown/get_allow_unknown methods.
122 - fixed documentation of max_depth w.r.t. higher and equal.
123 - moved down =encoding directive a bit, too much breaks if it's the first
124 pod directive :/.
125 - removed documentation section on other modules, it became somewhat
126 outdated and is nowadays mostly of historical interest.
127
1282.1 Wed Mar 19 23:23:18 CET 2008
129 - update documentation here and there: add a large section
130 about utf8/latin1/ascii flags, add a security consideration
131 and extend and clarify the JSON and YAML section.
132 - medium speed enhancements when encoding/decoding non-ascii chars.
133 - minor speedup in number encoding case.
134 - extend and clarify the section on incompatibilities
135 between YAML and JSON.
136 - switch to static inline from just inline when using gcc.
137 - add =encoding utf-8 to the manpage, now that perl 5.10 supports it.
138 - fix some issues with UV to JSON conversion of unknown impact.
139 - published the yahoo locals search result used in benchmarks as the
140 original url changes so comparison is impossible.
141
1422.01 Wed Dec 5 11:40:28 CET 2007
143 - INCOMPATIBLE API CHANGE: to_json and from_json have been
144 renamed to encode_json/decode_json for JSON.pm compatibility.
145 The old functions croak and might be replaced by JSON.pm
146 comaptible versions in some later release.
147
1482.0 Tue Dec 4 11:30:46 CET 2007
149 - this is supposed to be the first version of JSON::XS
150 compatible with version 2.0+ of the JSON module.
151 Using the JSON module as frontend to JSON::XS should be
152 as fast as using JSON::XS directly, so consider using it
153 instead.
154 - added get_* methods for all "simple" options.
155 - make JSON::XS subclassable.
156
1571.53 Tue Nov 13 23:58:33 CET 2007
158 - minor doc clarifications.
159 - fixed many doc typos (patch by Thomas L. Shinnick).
160
1611.52 Mon Oct 15 03:22:06 CEST 2007
162 - remove =encoding pod directive again, it confuses too many pod
163 parsers :/.
164
1651.51 Sat Oct 13 03:55:56 CEST 2007
166 - encode empty arrays/hashes in a compact way when pretty is enabled.
167 - apparently JSON::XS was used to find some bugs in the
168 JSON_checker testsuite, so add (the corrected) JSON_checker tests to
169 the testsuite.
170 - quite a bit of doc updates/extension.
171 - require 5.8.2, as this seems to be the first unicode-stable version.
172
1731.5 Tue Aug 28 04:05:38 CEST 2007
174 - add support for tied hashes, based on ideas and testcase by
175 Marcus Holland-Moritz.
176 - implemented relaxed parsing mode where some extensions are being
177 accepted. generation is still JSON-only.
178
1791.44 Wed Aug 22 01:02:44 CEST 2007
180 - very experimental process-emulation support, slowing everything down.
181 the horribly broken perl threads are still not supported - YMMV.
182
1831.43 Thu Jul 26 13:26:37 CEST 2007
184 - convert big json numbers exclusively consisting of digits to NV
185 only when there is no loss of precision, otherwise to string.
186
1871.42 Tue Jul 24 00:51:18 CEST 2007
188 - fix a crash caused by not handling missing array elements
189 (report and testcase by Jay Kuri).
190
1911.41 Tue Jul 10 18:21:44 CEST 2007
192 - fix compilation with NDEBUG (assert side-effect),
193 affects convert_blessed only.
194 - fix a bug in decode filters calling ENTER; SAVETMPS;
195 one time too often.
196 - catch a typical error in TO_JSON methods.
197 - antique-ised XS.xs again to work with outdated
198 C compilers (windows...).
199
2001.4 Mon Jul 2 10:06:30 CEST 2007
201 - add convert_blessed setting.
202 - encode did not catch all blessed objects, encoding their
203 contents in most cases. This has been fixed by introducing
204 the allow_blessed setting.
205 - added filter_json_object and filter_json_single_key_object
206 settings that specify a callback to be called when
207 all/specific json objects are encountered.
208 - assume that most object keys are simple ascii words and
209 optimise this case, penalising the general case. This can
210 speed up decoding by 30% in typical cases and gives
211 a smaller and faster perl hash.
212 - implemented simpleminded, optional resource size checking
213 in decode_json.
214 - remove objToJson/jsonToObj aliases, as the next version
215 of JSON will not have them either.
216 - bit the bullet and converted the very simple json object
217 into a more complex one.
218 - work around a bug where perl wrongly claims an integer
219 is not an integer.
220 - unbundle JSON::XS::Boolean into own pm file so Storable
221 and similar modules can resolve the overloading when thawing.
222
2231.3 Sun Jun 24 01:55:02 CEST 2007
224 - make JSON::XS::true and false special overloaded objects
225 and return those instead of 1 and 0 for those json atoms
226 (JSON::PP compatibility is NOT achieved yet).
227 - add JSON::XS::is_bool predicate to test for those special
228 values.
229 - add a reference to
230 http://jpsykes.com/47/practical-csrf-and-json-security.
231 - removed require 5.8.8 again, it is just not very expert-friendly.
232 Also try to be more compatible with slightly older versions,
233 which are not recommended (because they are buggy).
234
2351.24 Mon Jun 11 05:40:49 CEST 2007
236 - added informative section on JSON-as-YAML.
237 - get rid of some c99-isms again.
238 - localise dec->cur in decode_str, speeding up
239 string decoding considerably (>15% on my amd64 + gcc).
240 - increased SHORT_STRING_LEN to 16kb: stack space is
241 usually plenty, and this actually saves memory
242 when !shrinking as short strings will fit perfectly.
243
2441.23 Wed Jun 6 20:13:06 CEST 2007
245 - greatly improved small integer encoding and decoding speed.
246 - implement a number of ยต-optimisations.
247 - updated benchmarks.
248
2491.22 Thu May 24 00:07:25 CEST 2007

131.21 Wed May 9 18:40:32 CEST 2007 2541.21 Wed May 9 18:40:32 CEST 2007
14 - character offset reported for trailing garbage is random. 255 - character offset reported for trailing garbage was random.
