319 | If C<$enable> is true (or missing), then the C<encode> method will not |

|
|
323 | object (C<convert_blessed> enabled and C<to_json> method found) is being |

324 | encoded. Has no effect on C<decode>. |

331 | If C<$enable> is true (or missing), then C<encode>, upon encountering a |
|
|
332 | blessed object, will check for the availability of the C<TO_JSON> method |
|
|
333 | on the object's class. If found, it will be called in scalar context |
|
|
334 | and the resulting scalar will be encoded instead of the object. If no |

|
|
336 | to do. |
|
|
337 | |
|
|
338 | The C<TO_JSON> method may safely call die if it wants. If C<TO_JSON> |
|
|
339 | returns other blessed objects, those will be handled in the same |
|
|
340 | way. C<TO_JSON> must take care of not causing an endless recursion cycle |
|
|
341 | (== crash) in this case. The name of C<TO_JSON> was chosen because other |
|
|
342 | methods called by the Perl core (== not by the user of the object) are |
|
|
343 | usually in upper case letters and to avoid collisions with the C<to_json> |
