1101=head2 OBJECT SERIALISATION
1102
1103As JSON cannot directly represent Perl objects, you have to choose between
1104a pure JSON representation (without the ability to deserialise the object
1105automatically again), and a nonstandard extension to the JSON syntax,
1106tagged values.
1107
1108=head3 SERIALISATION
1109
1110What happens when C<JSON::XS> encounters a Perl object depends on the
1111C<allow_blessed>, C<convert_blessed> and C<allow_tags> settings, which are
1112used in this order:
1113
1114=over 4
1115
1116=item 1. C<allow_tags> is enabled and object has a C<FREEZE> method.
1117
1118In this case, C<JSON::XS> uses the L<Types::Serialiser> object
1119serialisation protocol to create a tagged JSON value, using a nonstandard
1120extension to the JSON syntax.
1121
1122This works by invoking the C<FREEZE> method on the object, with the first
1123argument being the object to serialise, and the second argument being the
1124constant string C<JSON> to distinguish it from other serialisers.
1125
1126The C<FREEZE> method can return any number of values (i.e. zero or
1127more). These values and the paclkage/classname of the object will then be
1128encoded as a tagged JSON value in the following format:
1129
1130 ("classname")[FREEZE return values...]
1131
1132For example, the hypothetical C<My::Object> C<FREEZE> method might use the
1133objects C<type> and C<id> members to encode the object:
1134
1135 sub My::Object::FREEZE {
1136 my ($self, $serialiser) = @_;
1137
1138 ($self->{type}, $self->{id})
1139 }
1140
1141=item 2. C<convert_blessed> is enabled and object has a C<TO_JSON> method.
1142
1143In this case, the C<TO_JSON> method of the object is invoked in scalar
1144context. It must return a single scalar that can be directly encoded into
1145JSON. This scalar replaces the object in the JSON text.
1146
1147For example, the following C<TO_JSON> method will convert all L<URI>
1148objects to JSON strings when serialised. The fatc that these values
1149originally were L<URI> objects is lost.
1150
1151 sub URI::TO_JSON {
1152 my ($uri) = @_;
1153 $uri->as_string
1154 }
1155
1156=item 3. C<allow_blessed> is enabled.
1157
1158The object will be serialised as a JSON null value.
1159
1160=item 4. none of the above
1161
1162If none of the settings are enabled or the respective methods are missing,
1163C<JSON::XS> throws an exception.
1164
1165=back
1166
1167=head3 DESERIALISATION
1168
1169For deserialisation there are only two cases to consider: either
1170nonstandard tagging was used, in which case C<allow_tags> decides,
1171or objects cannot be automatically be deserialised, in which
1172case you can use postprocessing or the C<filter_json_object> or
1173C<filter_json_single_key_object> callbacks to get some real objects our of
1174your JSON.
1175
1176This section only considers the tagged value case: I a tagged JSON object
1177is encountered during decoding and C<allow_tags> is disabled, a parse
1178error will result (as if tagged values were not part of the grammar).
1179
1180If C<allow_tags> is enabled, C<JSON::XS> will look up the C<THAW> method
1181of the package/classname used during serialisation. If there is no such
1182method, the decoding will fail with an error.
1183
1184Otherwise, the C<THAW> method is invoked with the classname as first
1185argument, the constant string C<JSON> as second argument, and all the
1186values from the JSON array (the values originally returned by the
1187C<FREEZE> method) as remaining arguments.
1188
1189The method must then return the object. While technically you can return
1190any Perl scalar, you might have to enable the C<enable_nonref> setting to
1191make that work in all cases, so better return an actual blessed reference.
1192
1193As an example, let's implement a C<THAW> function that regenerates the
1194C<My::Object> from the C<FREEZE> example earlier:
1195
1196 sub My::Object::THAW {
1197 my ($class, $serialiser, $type, $id) = @_;
1198
1199 $class->new (type => $type, id => $id)

1533=head1 INTEROPERABILITY WITH OTHER MODULES
1534
1535C<JSON::XS> uses the L<Types::Serialiser> module to provide boolean
1536constants. That means that the JSON true and false values will be
1537comaptible to true and false values of iother modules that do the same,
1538such as L<JSON::PP> and L<CBOR::XS>.

1551=head1 THE PERILS OF SETLOCALE
1552
1553Sometimes people avoid the Perl locale support and directly call the
1554system's setlocale function with C<LC_ALL>.
1555
1556This breaks both perl and modules such as JSON::XS, as stringification of
1557numbers no longer works correctly (e.g. C<$x = 0.1; print "$x"+1> might
1558print C<1>, and JSON::XS might output illegal JSON as JSON::XS relies on
1559perl to stringify numbers).
1560
1561The solution is simple: don't call C<setlocale>, or use it for only those
1562categories you need, such as C<LC_MESSAGES> or C<LC_CTYPE>.
1563
1564If you need C<LC_NUMERIC>, you should enable it only around the code that
1565actually needs it (avoiding stringification of numbers), and restore it
1566afterwards.
