|
105 | A FEW NOTES ON UNICODE AND PERL |
|
|
106 | Since this often leads to confusion, here are a few very clear words on |
|
|
107 | how Unicode works in Perl, modulo bugs. |
|
|
108 | |
|
|
109 | 1. Perl strings can store characters with ordinal values > 255. |
|
|
110 | This enables you to store Unicode characters as single characters in |
|
|
111 | a Perl string - very natural. |
|
|
112 | |
|
|
113 | 2. Perl does *not* associate an encoding with your strings. |
|
|
114 | Unless you force it to, e.g. when matching it against a regex, or |
|
|
115 | printing the scalar to a file, in which case Perl either interprets |
|
|
116 | your string as locale-encoded text, octets/binary, or as Unicode, |
|
|
117 | depending on various settings. In no case is an encoding stored |
|
|
118 | together with your data, it is *use* that decides encoding, not any |
|
|
119 | magical metadata. |
|
|
120 | |
|
|
121 | 3. The internal utf-8 flag has no meaning with regards to the encoding |
|
|
122 | of your string. |
|
|
123 | Just ignore that flag unless you debug a Perl bug, a module written |
|
|
124 | in XS or want to dive into the internals of perl. Otherwise it will |
|
|
125 | only confuse you, as, despite the name, it says nothing about how |
|
|
126 | your string is encoded. You can have Unicode strings with that flag |
|
|
127 | set, with that flag clear, and you can have binary data with that |
|
|
128 | flag set and that flag clear. Other possibilities exist, too. |
|
|
129 | |
|
|
130 | If you didn't know about that flag, just the better, pretend it |
|
|
131 | doesn't exist. |
|
|
132 | |
|
|
133 | 4. A "Unicode String" is simply a string where each character can be |
|
|
134 | validly interpreted as a Unicode codepoint. |
|
|
135 | If you have UTF-8 encoded data, it is no longer a Unicode string, |
|
|
136 | but a Unicode string encoded in UTF-8, giving you a binary string. |
|
|
137 | |
|
|
138 | 5. A string containing "high" (> 255) character values is *not* a UTF-8 |
|
|
139 | string. |
|
|
140 | It's a fact. Learn to live with it. |
|
|
141 | |
|
|
142 | I hope this helps :) |

|
299 | |

|
300 | * list items can have an end-comma |
|
|
301 | JSON *separates* array elements and key-value pairs with commas. |
|
|
302 | This can be annoying if you write JSON texts manually and want |
|
|
303 | to be able to quickly append elements, so this extension accepts |
|
|
304 | comma at the end of such items not just between them: |
|

316 | Whenever JSON allows whitespace, shell-style comments are |

360 | $json = $json->allow_blessed ([$enable]) |
|
|
361 | If $enable is true (or missing), then the "encode" method will not |
|
|
362 | barf when it encounters a blessed reference. Instead, the value of |
|
|
363 | the convert_blessed option will decide whether "null" |
|
|
364 | ("convert_blessed" disabled or no "to_json" method found) or a |
|
|
365 | representation of the object ("convert_blessed" enabled and |
|
|
366 | "to_json" method found) is being encoded. Has no effect on "decode". |
|
|
367 | |
|
|
368 | If $enable is false (the default), then "encode" will throw an |
|
|
369 | exception when it encounters a blessed object. |

|
370 | |
|
|
371 | $json = $json->convert_blessed ([$enable]) |
|
|
372 | If $enable is true (or missing), then "encode", upon encountering a |
|
|
373 | blessed object, will check for the availability of the "TO_JSON" |
|
|
374 | method on the object's class. If found, it will be called in scalar |
|
|
375 | context and the resulting scalar will be encoded instead of the |
|
|
376 | object. If no "TO_JSON" method is found, the value of |
|
|
377 | "allow_blessed" will decide what to do. |
|
|
378 | |
|
|
379 | The "TO_JSON" method may safely call die if it wants. If "TO_JSON" |
|
|
380 | returns other blessed objects, those will be handled in the same |
|
|
381 | way. "TO_JSON" must take care of not causing an endless recursion |
|
|
382 | cycle (== crash) in this case. The name of "TO_JSON" was chosen |
|
|
383 | because other methods called by the Perl core (== not by the user of |
|
|
384 | the object) are usually in upper case letters and to avoid |
|
|
385 | collisions with the "to_json" function. |
|
|
386 | |
|
|
387 | This setting does not yet influence "decode" in any way, but in the |
|
|
388 | future, global hooks might get installed that influence "decode" and |
|
|
389 | are enabled by this setting. |
|
|
390 | |
|
|
391 | If $enable is false, then the "allow_blessed" setting will decide |
|
|
392 | what to do when a blessed object is found. |
|
|
393 | |
|
|
394 | $json = $json->filter_json_object ([$coderef->($hashref)]) |
|
|
395 | When $coderef is specified, it will be called from "decode" each |
|
|
396 | time it decodes a JSON object. The only argument is a reference to |
|
|
397 | the newly-created hash. If the code references returns a single |
|
|
398 | scalar (which need not be a reference), this value (i.e. a copy of |
|
|
399 | that scalar to avoid aliasing) is inserted into the deserialised |
|
|
400 | data structure. If it returns an empty list (NOTE: *not* "undef", |
|
|
401 | which is a valid scalar), the original deserialised hash will be |
|
|
402 | inserted. This setting can slow down decoding considerably. |
|
|
403 | |
|
|
404 | When $coderef is omitted or undefined, any existing callback will be |
|
|
405 | removed and "decode" will not change the deserialised hash in any |
|
|
406 | way. |
|
|
407 | |
|
|
408 | Example, convert all JSON objects into the integer 5: |
|
|
409 | |
|
|
410 | my $js = JSON::XS->new->filter_json_object (sub { 5 }); |
|
|
411 | # returns [5] |
|
|
412 | $js->decode ('[{}]') |
|
|
413 | # throw an exception because allow_nonref is not enabled |
|
|
414 | # so a lone 5 is not allowed. |
|
|
415 | $js->decode ('{"a":1, "b":2}'); |
|
|
416 | |
|
|
417 | $json = $json->filter_json_single_key_object ($key [=> |
|
|
418 | $coderef->($value)]) |
|
|
419 | Works remotely similar to "filter_json_object", but is only called |
|
|
420 | for JSON objects having a single key named $key. |
|
|
421 | |
|
|
422 | This $coderef is called before the one specified via |
|
|
423 | "filter_json_object", if any. It gets passed the single value in the |
|
|
424 | JSON object. If it returns a single value, it will be inserted into |
|
|
425 | the data structure. If it returns nothing (not even "undef" but the |
|
|
426 | empty list), the callback from "filter_json_object" will be called |
|
|
427 | next, as if no single-key callback were specified. |
|
|
428 | |
|
|
429 | If $coderef is omitted or undefined, the corresponding callback will |
|
|
430 | be disabled. There can only ever be one callback for a given key. |
|
|
431 | |
|
|
432 | As this callback gets called less often then the |
|
|
433 | "filter_json_object" one, decoding speed will not usually suffer as |
|
|
434 | much. Therefore, single-key objects make excellent targets to |
|
|
435 | serialise Perl objects into, especially as single-key JSON objects |
|
|
436 | are as close to the type-tagged value concept as JSON gets (it's |
|
|
437 | basically an ID/VALUE tuple). Of course, JSON does not support this |
|
|
438 | in any way, so you need to make sure your data never looks like a |
|
|
439 | serialised Perl hash. |
|
|
440 | |
|
|
441 | Typical names for the single object key are "__class_whatever__", or |
|
|
442 | "$__dollars_are_rarely_used__$" or "}ugly_brace_placement", or even |
|
|
443 | things like "__class_md5sum(classname)__", to reduce the risk of |
|
|
444 | clashing with real hashes. |
|
|
445 | |
|
|
446 | Example, decode JSON objects of the form "{ "__widget__" => <id> }" |
|
|
447 | into the corresponding $WIDGET{<id>} object: |
|
|
448 | |
|
|
449 | # return whatever is in $WIDGET{5}: |
|
|
450 | JSON::XS |
|
|
451 | ->new |
|
|
452 | ->filter_json_single_key_object (__widget__ => sub { |
|
|
453 | $WIDGET{ $_[0] } |
|
|
454 | }) |
|
|
455 | ->decode ('{"__widget__": 5') |
|
|
456 | |
|
|
457 | # this can be used with a TO_JSON method in some "widget" class |
|
|
458 | # for serialisation to json: |
|
|
459 | sub WidgetBase::TO_JSON { |
|
|
460 | my ($self) = @_; |
|
|
461 | |
|
|
462 | unless ($self->{id}) { |
|
|
463 | $self->{id} = ..get..some..id..; |
|
|
464 | $WIDGET{$self->{id}} = $self; |
|
|
465 | } |
|
|
466 | |
|
|

769 | JSON and YAML |
|
|
770 | You often hear that JSON is a subset (or a close subset) of YAML. This |
|
|
771 | is, however, a mass hysteria and very far from the truth. In general, |
|
|
772 | there is no way to configure JSON::XS to output a data structure as |
|
|
773 | valid YAML. |
|
|
774 | |
|
|
775 | If you really must use JSON::XS to generate YAML, you should use this |
|
|
776 | algorithm (subject to change in future versions): |
|
|
777 | |
|
|
778 | my $to_yaml = JSON::XS->new->utf8->space_after (1); |
|
|
779 | my $yaml = $to_yaml->encode ($ref) . "\n"; |
|
|
780 | |
|
|
781 | This will usually generate JSON texts that also parse as valid YAML. |
|
|
782 | Please note that YAML has hardcoded limits on (simple) object key |
|
|
783 | lengths that JSON doesn't have, so you should make sure that your hash |
|
|
784 | keys are noticeably shorter than the 1024 characters YAML allows. |
|
|
785 | |
|
|
786 | There might be other incompatibilities that I am not aware of. In |
|
|
787 | general you should not try to generate YAML with a JSON generator or |
|
|
