 If C<$enable> is false, then the C<allow_blessed> setting will decide what

+=item $json = $json->filter_json_object ([$coderef->($hashref)])
+
+When C<$coderef> is specified, it will be called from C<decode> each
+time it decodes a JSON object. The only argument is a reference to the
+newly-created hash. If the code references returns a single scalar (which
+need not be a reference), this value (i.e. a copy of that scalar to avoid
+aliasing) is inserted into the deserialised data structure. If it returns
+an empty list (NOTE: I<not> C<undef>, which is a valid scalar), the
+original deserialised hash will be inserted. This setting can slow down
+decoding considerably.
+
+When C<$coderef> is omitted or undefined, any existing callback will
+be removed and C<decode> will not change the deserialised hash in any
+way.
+
+Example, convert all JSON objects into the integer 5:
+
+   my $js = JSON::XS->new->filter_json_object (sub { 5 });
+   # returns [5]
+   $js->decode ('[{}]')
+   # throw an exception because allow_nonref is not enabled
+   # so a lone 5 is not allowed.
+   $js->decode ('{"a":1, "b":2}');
+
+=item $json = $json->filter_json_single_key_object ($key [=> $coderef->($value)])
+
+Works remotely similar to C<filter_json_object>, but is only called for
+JSON objects having a single key named C<$key>.
+
+This C<$coderef> is called before the one specified via
+C<filter_json_object>, if any. It gets passed the single value in the JSON
+object. If it returns a single value, it will be inserted into the data
+structure. If it returns nothing (not even C<undef> but the empty list),
+the callback from C<filter_json_object> will be called next, as if no
+single-key callback were specified.
+
+If C<$coderef> is omitted or undefined, the corresponding callback will be
+disabled. There can only ever be one callback for a given key.
+
+As this callback gets called less often then the C<filter_json_object>
+one, decoding speed will not usually suffer as much. Therefore, single-key
+objects make excellent targets to serialise Perl objects into, especially
+as single-key JSON objects are as close to the type-tagged value concept
+as JSON gets (its basically an ID/VALUE tuple). Of course, JSON does not
+support this in any way, so you need to make sure your data never looks
+like a serialised Perl hash.
+
+Typical names for the single object key are C<__class_whatever__>, or
+C<$__dollars_are_rarely_used__$> or C<}ugly_brace_placement>, or even
+things like C<__class_md5sum(classname)__>, to reduce the risk of clashing
+with real hashes.
+
+Example, decode JSON objects of the form C<< { "__widget__" => <id> } >>
+into the corresponding C<< $WIDGET{<id>} >> object:
+
+   # return whatever is in $WIDGET{5}:
+   JSON::XS
+      ->new
+      ->filter_json_single_key_object (__widget__ => sub {
+            $WIDGET{ $_[0] }
+         })
+      ->decode ('{"__widget__": 5')
+
+   # this can be used with a TO_JSON method in some "widget" class
+   # for serialisation to json:
+   sub WidgetBase::TO_JSON {
+      my ($self) = @_;
+
+      unless ($self->{id}) {
+         $self->{id} = ..get..some..id..;
+         $WIDGET{$self->{id}} = $self;
+      }
+
+      { __widget__ => $self->{id} }
+   }
