128 | |
172 | |
|
|
173 | The main use for this flag is to produce JSON texts that can be |
|
|
174 | transmitted over a 7-bit channel, as the encoded JSON texts will not |
|
|
175 | contain any 8 bit characters. |

182 | If C<$enable> is true (or missing), then the C<encode> method will encode |
|
|
183 | the resulting JSON text as latin1 (or iso-8859-1), escaping any characters |
|
|
184 | outside the code range C<0..255>. The resulting string can be treated as a |
|
|
185 | latin1-encoded JSON text or a native unicode string. The C<decode> method |
|
|
186 | will not be affected in any way by this flag, as C<decode> by default |
|
|
187 | expects unicode, which is a strict superset of latin1. |
|
|
188 | |
|
|
189 | If C<$enable> is false, then the C<encode> method will not escape Unicode |
|
|

|
|
191 | |
|
|
192 | The main use for this flag is efficiently encoding binary data as JSON |
|
|
193 | text, as most octets will not be escaped, resulting in a smaller encoded |
|
|
194 | size. The disadvantage is that the resulting JSON text is encoded |
|
|
195 | in latin1 (and must correctly be treated as such when storing and |
|
|
196 | transfering), a rare encoding for JSON. It is therefore most useful when |
|
|
197 | you want to store data structures known to contain binary data efficiently |
|
|
198 | in files or databases, not when talking to other JSON encoders/decoders. |

322 | |
|
|
323 | If C<$enable> is true (or missing), then the C<encode> method will not |
|
|
324 | barf when it encounters a blessed reference. Instead, the value of the |
|
|
325 | B<convert_blessed> option will decide wether C<null> (C<convert_blessed> |
|
|
326 | disabled or no C<to_json> method found) or a representation of the |
|
|
327 | object (C<convert_blessed> enabled and C<to_json> method found) is being |
|
|
328 | encoded. Has no effect on C<decode>. |
|
|
329 | |
|
|
330 | If C<$enable> is false (the default), then C<encode> will throw an |

|
|
334 | |
|
|
335 | If C<$enable> is true (or missing), then C<encode>, upon encountering a |
|
|
336 | blessed object, will check for the availability of the C<TO_JSON> method |
|
|
337 | on the object's class. If found, it will be called in scalar context |
|
|
338 | and the resulting scalar will be encoded instead of the object. If no |
|
|
339 | C<TO_JSON> method is found, the value of C<allow_blessed> will decide what |
|
|
340 | to do. |
|
|
341 | |
|
|
342 | The C<TO_JSON> method may safely call die if it wants. If C<TO_JSON> |
|
|
343 | returns other blessed objects, those will be handled in the same |
|
|
344 | way. C<TO_JSON> must take care of not causing an endless recursion cycle |
|
|
345 | (== crash) in this case. The name of C<TO_JSON> was chosen because other |
|
|
346 | methods called by the Perl core (== not by the user of the object) are |
|
|
347 | usually in upper case letters and to avoid collisions with the C<to_json> |
|
|
348 | function. |
|
|
349 | |

356 | |
|
|
357 | =item $json = $json->shrink ([$enable]) |
|
|
358 | |
|
|
359 | Perl usually over-allocates memory a bit when allocating space for |
|
|
360 | strings. This flag optionally resizes strings generated by either |
|
|
361 | C<encode> or C<decode> to their minimum size possible. This can save |
|
|
362 | memory when your JSON texts are either very very long or you have many |
|
|
363 | short strings. It will also try to downgrade any strings to octet-form |
|
|
364 | if possible: perl stores strings internally either in an encoding called |
|
|
365 | UTF-X or in octet-form. The latter cannot store everything but uses less |
|
|
366 | space in general (and some buggy Perl or C code might even rely on that |
|
|
367 | internal representation being used). |
|
|
368 | |
|
|
369 | The actual definition of what shrink does might change in future versions, |
|
|
370 | but it will always try to save space at the expense of time. |
|
|
371 | |
|
|
372 | If C<$enable> is true (or missing), the string returned by C<encode> will |
|
|
373 | be shrunk-to-fit, while all strings generated by C<decode> will also be |
|
|
374 | shrunk-to-fit. |
|
|
375 | |
|
|
376 | If C<$enable> is false, then the normal perl allocation algorithms are used. |
|
|
377 | If you work with your data, then this is likely to be faster. |
|
|
378 | |
|
|
379 | In the future, this setting might control other things, such as converting |
|
|
380 | strings that look like integers or floats into integers or floats |
|
|
381 | internally (there is no difference on the Perl level), saving space. |

|
383 | =item $json = $json->max_depth ([$maximum_nesting_depth]) |
|
|
384 | |
|
|
385 | Sets the maximum nesting level (default C<512>) accepted while encoding |
|
|
386 | or decoding. If the JSON text or Perl data structure has an equal or |
|
|
387 | higher nesting level then this limit, then the encoder and decoder will |
|
|
388 | stop and croak at that point. |
|
|
389 | |
|
|
390 | Nesting level is defined by number of hash- or arrayrefs that the encoder |
|
|
391 | needs to traverse to reach a given point or the number of C<{> or C<[> |
|
|
392 | characters without their matching closing parenthesis crossed to reach a |
|
|
393 | given character in a string. |
|
|
394 | |
|
|
395 | Setting the maximum depth to one disallows any nesting, so that ensures |
|
|
396 | that the object is only a single hash/object or array. |
|
|
397 | |

398 | The argument to C<max_depth> will be rounded up to the next highest power |

|
|
454 | |
|
|
455 | This section describes how JSON::XS maps Perl values to JSON values and |
|
|
456 | vice versa. These mappings are designed to "do the right thing" in most |
|
|
457 | circumstances automatically, preserving round-tripping characteristics |
|
|
458 | (what you put in comes out as something equivalent). |
|
|
459 | |
|
|
460 | For the more enlightened: note that in the following descriptions, |
|
|
461 | lowercase I<perl> refers to the Perl interpreter, while uppcercase I<Perl> |
|
|
462 | refers to the abstract Perl language itself. |

|
|
468 | |
|
|
469 | =item object |
|
|
470 | |
|
|
471 | A JSON object becomes a reference to a hash in Perl. No ordering of object |
|
|
472 | keys is preserved (JSON does not preserver object key ordering itself). |
|
|
473 | |
|
|
474 | =item array |
|
|
475 | |
|
|
476 | A JSON array becomes a reference to an array in Perl. |
|
|
477 | |
|
|
478 | =item string |
|
|
479 | |
|
|
480 | A JSON string becomes a string scalar in Perl - Unicode codepoints in JSON |
|
|
481 | are represented by the same codepoints in the Perl string, so no manual |
|
|
482 | decoding is necessary. |
|
|
483 | |
|
|
484 | =item number |
|
|
485 | |
|
|
486 | A JSON number becomes either an integer or numeric (floating point) |
|
|
487 | scalar in perl, depending on its range and any fractional parts. On the |
|
|
488 | Perl level, there is no difference between those as Perl handles all the |
|
|
489 | conversion details, but an integer may take slightly less memory and might |
|
|
490 | represent more values exactly than (floating point) numbers. |
|
|
491 | |
|
|
492 | =item true, false |
|
|
493 | |
|
|
494 | These JSON atoms become C<JSON::XS::true> and C<JSON::XS::false>, |
|
|
495 | respectively. They are overloaded to act almost exactly like the numbers |
|
|
496 | C<1> and C<0>. You can check wether a scalar is a JSON boolean by using |
|
|
497 | the C<JSON::XS::is_bool> function. |
|
|
498 | |
|
|
499 | =item null |
|

506 | =head2 PERL -> JSON |
|
|
507 | |
|
|
508 | The mapping from Perl to JSON is slightly more difficult, as Perl is a |
|
|
509 | truly typeless language, so we can only guess which JSON type is meant by |
|
|
510 | a Perl value. |
|
|
511 | |
|
|
512 | =over 4 |
|
|
513 | |
|
|
514 | =item hash references |
|
|
515 | |
|
|
516 | Perl hash references become JSON objects. As there is no inherent ordering |
|
|
517 | in hash keys (or JSON objects), they will usually be encoded in a |
|
|
518 | pseudo-random order that can change between runs of the same program but |
|
|
519 | stays generally the same within a single run of a program. JSON::XS can |
|
|
520 | optionally sort the hash keys (determined by the I<canonical> flag), so |
|
|
521 | the same datastructure will serialise to the same JSON text (given same |
|
|
522 | settings and version of JSON::XS), but this incurs a runtime overhead |
|
|
523 | and is only rarely useful, e.g. when you want to compare some JSON text |
|
|
524 | against another for equality. |
|
|
525 | |
|
|
526 | =item array references |
|
|
527 | |
|
|
528 | Perl array references become JSON arrays. |
|
|
529 | |
|
|
530 | =item other references |
|
|
531 | |
|
|
532 | Other unblessed references are generally not allowed and will cause an |
|
|
533 | exception to be thrown, except for references to the integers C<0> and |
|
|
534 | C<1>, which get turned into C<false> and C<true> atoms in JSON. You can |
|
|
535 | also use C<JSON::XS::false> and C<JSON::XS::true> to improve readability. |
|
|
536 | |
|
|
537 | to_json [\0,JSON::XS::true] # yields [false,true] |
|
|
538 | |
|
|
539 | =item JSON::XS::true, JSON::XS::false |
|
|
540 | |
|
|
541 | These special values become JSON true and JSON false values, |
|
|
542 | respectively. You cna alos use C<\1> and C<\0> directly if you want. |
|
|
543 | |
|
|
544 | =item blessed objects |
|
|
545 | |
|
|
546 | Blessed objects are not allowed. JSON::XS currently tries to encode their |
|
|
547 | underlying representation (hash- or arrayref), but this behaviour might |
|
|
548 | change in future versions. |
|
|
549 | |
|
|
550 | =item simple scalars |
|
|
551 | |
|
|
552 | Simple Perl scalars (any scalar that is not a reference) are the most |
|
|
553 | difficult objects to encode: JSON::XS will encode undefined scalars as |
|
|
554 | JSON null value, scalars that have last been used in a string context |
|
|
555 | before encoding as JSON strings and anything else as number value: |
|
|
556 | |
|
|
557 | # dump as number |
|
|
558 | to_json [2] # yields [2] |
|
|
559 | to_json [-3.0e17] # yields [-3e+17] |
|
|
560 | my $value = 5; to_json [$value] # yields [5] |
|
|
561 | |
|
|
562 | # used as string, so dump as string |
|
|
563 | print $value; |
|
|
564 | to_json [$value] # yields ["5"] |
|
|
565 | |
|
|
566 | # undef becomes null |
|
|
567 | to_json [undef] # yields [null] |
|
|
568 | |
|
|
569 | You can force the type to be a string by stringifying it: |
|
|
570 | |
|
|
571 | my $x = 3.1; # some variable containing a number |
|
|
572 | "$x"; # stringified |
|
|
573 | $x .= ""; # another, more awkward way to stringify |
|
|
574 | print $x; # perl does it for you, too, quite often |
|
|
575 | |
|
|
576 | You can force the type to be a number by numifying it: |
|
|
577 | |
|
|
578 | my $x = "3"; # some variable containing a string |
|
|
579 | $x += 0; # numify it, ensuring it will be dumped as a number |
|
|
580 | $x *= 1; # same thing, the choise is yours. |
|
|
581 | |
|
|
582 | You can not currently output JSON booleans or force the type in other, |
|
|
583 | less obscure, ways. Tell me if you need this capability. |

675 | =head2 JSON and YAML |
|
|
676 | |
|
|
677 | You often hear that JSON is a subset (or a close subset) of YAML. This is, |
|
|
678 | however, a mass hysteria and very far from the truth. In general, there is |
|
|
679 | no way to configure JSON::XS to output a data structure as valid YAML. |
|
|
680 | |
|
|
681 | If you really must use JSON::XS to generate YAML, you should use this |
|
|
682 | algorithm (subject to change in future versions): |
|
|
683 | |
|
|
684 | my $to_yaml = JSON::XS->new->utf8->space_after (1); |
|
|
685 | my $yaml = $to_yaml->encode ($ref) . "\n"; |
|
|
686 | |
|
|
687 | This will usually generate JSON texts that also parse as valid |
|
|
688 | YAML. Please note that YAML has hardcoded limits on (simple) object key |
|
|
689 | lengths that JSON doesn't have, so you should make sure that your hash |
|
|
690 | keys are noticably shorter than the 1024 characters YAML allows. |
|
|
691 | |
|
|
692 | There might be other incompatibilities that I am not aware of. In general |
|
|
693 | you should not try to generate YAML with a JSON generator or vice versa, |
|
|
694 | or try to parse JSON with a YAML parser or vice versa: chances are high |
|
|
695 | that you will run into severe interoperability problems. |

751 | On large strings containing lots of high unicode characters, some modules |

753 | will be broken due to missing (or wrong) unicode handling. Others refuse |

758 | =head1 SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS |
|
|
759 | |
|
|
760 | When you are using JSON in a protocol, talking to untrusted potentially |
|
|
761 | hostile creatures requires relatively few measures. |
|
|
762 | |
|
|
763 | First of all, your JSON decoder should be secure, that is, should not have |
|
|
764 | any buffer overflows. Obviously, this module should ensure that and I am |
|
|
765 | trying hard on making that true, but you never know. |
|
|
766 | |
|
|
767 | Second, you need to avoid resource-starving attacks. That means you should |
|
|
768 | limit the size of JSON texts you accept, or make sure then when your |
|
|
769 | resources run out, thats just fine (e.g. by using a separate process that |
|
|
770 | can crash safely). The size of a JSON text in octets or characters is |
|
|
771 | usually a good indication of the size of the resources required to decode |
|
|
772 | it into a Perl structure. While JSON::XS can check the size of the JSON |
|
|
773 | text, it might be too late when you already have it in memory, so you |
|
|
774 | might want to check the size before you accept the string. |
|
|
775 | |
|
|
776 | Third, JSON::XS recurses using the C stack when decoding objects and |
|
|
777 | arrays. The C stack is a limited resource: for instance, on my amd64 |
|
|
778 | machine with 8MB of stack size I can decode around 180k nested arrays but |
|
|
779 | only 14k nested JSON objects (due to perl itself recursing deeply on croak |
|
|
780 | to free the temporary). If that is exceeded, the program crashes. to be |
|
|
781 | conservative, the default nesting limit is set to 512. If your process |
|
|
782 | has a smaller stack, you should adjust this setting accordingly with the |
|
|
783 | C<max_depth> method. |
|
|
784 | |
|
|
785 | And last but least, something else could bomb you that I forgot to think |
|
|
786 | of. In that case, you get to keep the pieces. I am always open for hints, |
|
|
787 | though... |
|
|
788 | |
|
|
789 | If you are using JSON::XS to return packets to consumption |
|
|
790 | by javascript scripts in a browser you should have a look at |
|
|
791 | L<http://jpsykes.com/47/practical-csrf-and-json-security> to see wether |
|
|
792 | you are vulnerable to some common attack vectors (which really are browser |
|
|
793 | design bugs, but it is still you who will have to deal with it, as major |
|
|
794 | browser developers care only for features, not about doing security |
|
|
795 | right). |
