|
353 | =item $json = $json->filter_json_object ([$coderef->($hashref)]) |
|
|
354 | |
|
|
355 | When C<$coderef> is specified, it will be called from C<decode> each |
|
|
356 | time it decodes a JSON object. The only argument is a reference to the |
|
|
357 | newly-created hash. If the code references returns a single scalar (which |
|
|
358 | need not be a reference), this value (i.e. a copy of that scalar to avoid |
|
|
359 | aliasing) is inserted into the deserialised data structure. If it returns |
|
|
360 | an empty list (NOTE: I<not> C<undef>, which is a valid scalar), the |
|
|
361 | original deserialised hash will be inserted. This setting can slow down |
|
|
362 | decoding considerably. |
|
|
363 | |
|
|
364 | When C<$coderef> is omitted or undefined, any existing callback will |
|
|
365 | be removed and C<decode> will not change the deserialised hash in any |
|
|
366 | way. |
|
|
367 | |
|
|
368 | Example, convert all JSON objects into the integer 5: |
|
|
369 | |
|
|
370 | my $js = JSON::XS->new->filter_json_object (sub { 5 }); |
|
|
371 | # returns [5] |
|
|
372 | $js->decode ('[{}]') |
|
|
373 | # throw an exception because allow_nonref is not enabled |
|
|
374 | # so a lone 5 is not allowed. |
|
|
375 | $js->decode ('{"a":1, "b":2}'); |
|
|
376 | |
|
|
377 | =item $json = $json->filter_json_single_key_object ($key [=> $coderef->($value)]) |
|
|
378 | |
|
|
379 | Works remotely similar to C<filter_json_object>, but is only called for |
|
|
380 | JSON objects having a single key named C<$key>. |
|
|
381 | |
|
|
382 | This C<$coderef> is called before the one specified via |
|
|
383 | C<filter_json_object>, if any. It gets passed the single value in the JSON |
|
|
384 | object. If it returns a single value, it will be inserted into the data |
|
|
385 | structure. If it returns nothing (not even C<undef> but the empty list), |
|
|
386 | the callback from C<filter_json_object> will be called next, as if no |
|
|
387 | single-key callback were specified. |
|
|
388 | |
|
|
389 | If C<$coderef> is omitted or undefined, the corresponding callback will be |
|
|
390 | disabled. There can only ever be one callback for a given key. |
|
|
391 | |
|
|
392 | As this callback gets called less often then the C<filter_json_object> |
|
|
393 | one, decoding speed will not usually suffer as much. Therefore, single-key |
|
|
394 | objects make excellent targets to serialise Perl objects into, especially |
|
|
395 | as single-key JSON objects are as close to the type-tagged value concept |
|
|
396 | as JSON gets (its basically an ID/VALUE tuple). Of course, JSON does not |
|
|
397 | support this in any way, so you need to make sure your data never looks |
|
|
398 | like a serialised Perl hash. |
|
|
399 | |
|
|
400 | Typical names for the single object key are C<__class_whatever__>, or |
|
|
401 | C<$__dollars_are_rarely_used__$> or C<}ugly_brace_placement>, or even |
|
|
402 | things like C<__class_md5sum(classname)__>, to reduce the risk of clashing |
|
|
403 | with real hashes. |
|
|
404 | |
|
|
405 | Example, decode JSON objects of the form C<< { "__widget__" => <id> } >> |
|
|
406 | into the corresponding C<< $WIDGET{<id>} >> object: |
|
|
407 | |
|
|
408 | # return whatever is in $WIDGET{5}: |
|
|
409 | JSON::XS |
|
|
410 | ->new |
|
|
411 | ->filter_json_single_key_object (__widget__ => sub { |
|
|
412 | $WIDGET{ $_[0] } |
|
|
413 | }) |
|
|
414 | ->decode ('{"__widget__": 5') |
|
|
415 | |
|
|
416 | # this can be used with a TO_JSON method in some "widget" class |
|
|
417 | # for serialisation to json: |
|
|
418 | sub WidgetBase::TO_JSON { |
|
|
419 | my ($self) = @_; |
|
|
420 | |
|
|
421 | unless ($self->{id}) { |
|
|
422 | $self->{id} = ..get..some..id..; |
|
|
423 | $WIDGET{$self->{id}} = $self; |
|
|
424 | } |
|
|
425 | |
|

426 | { __widget__ => $self->{id} } |

|
|
563 | |
|
|
564 | If the number consists of digits only, JSON::XS will try to represent |
|
|
565 | it as an integer value. If that fails, it will try to represent it as |
|
|
566 | a numeric (floating point) value if that is possible without loss of |

|
