		1129	=head2 OBJECT SERIALISATION
		1130
		1131	As JSON cannot directly represent Perl objects, you have to choose between
		1132	a pure JSON representation (without the ability to deserialise the object
		1133	automatically again), and a nonstandard extension to the JSON syntax,
		1134	tagged values.
		1135
		1136	=head3 SERIALISATION
		1137
		1138	What happens when C<JSON::XS> encounters a Perl object depends on the
		1139	C<allow_blessed>, C<convert_blessed> and C<allow_tags> settings, which are
		1140	used in this order:
		1141
		1142	=over 4
		1143
		1144	=item 1. C<allow_tags> is enabled and the object has a C<FREEZE> method.
		1145
		1146	In this case, C<JSON::XS> uses the L<Types::Serialiser> object
		1147	serialisation protocol to create a tagged JSON value, using a nonstandard
		1148	extension to the JSON syntax.
		1149
		1150	This works by invoking the C<FREEZE> method on the object, with the first
		1151	argument being the object to serialise, and the second argument being the
		1152	constant string C<JSON> to distinguish it from other serialisers.
		1153
		1154	The C<FREEZE> method can return any number of values (i.e. zero or
		1155	more). These values and the paclkage/classname of the object will then be
		1156	encoded as a tagged JSON value in the following format:
		1157
		1158	("classname")[FREEZE return values...]
		1159
		1160	e.g.:
		1161
		1162	("URI")["http://www.google.com/"]
		1163	("MyDate")[2013,10,29]
		1164	("ImageData::JPEG")["Z3...VlCg=="]
		1165
		1166	For example, the hypothetical C<My::Object> C<FREEZE> method might use the
		1167	objects C<type> and C<id> members to encode the object:
		1168
		1169	sub My::Object::FREEZE {
		1170	my ($self, $serialiser) = @_;
		1171
		1172	($self->{type}, $self->{id})
		1173	}
		1174
		1175	=item 2. C<convert_blessed> is enabled and the object has a C<TO_JSON> method.
		1176
		1177	In this case, the C<TO_JSON> method of the object is invoked in scalar
		1178	context. It must return a single scalar that can be directly encoded into
		1179	JSON. This scalar replaces the object in the JSON text.
		1180
		1181	For example, the following C<TO_JSON> method will convert all L<URI>
		1182	objects to JSON strings when serialised. The fatc that these values
		1183	originally were L<URI> objects is lost.
		1184
		1185	sub URI::TO_JSON {
		1186	my ($uri) = @_;
		1187	$uri->as_string
		1188	}
		1189
		1190	=item 3. C<allow_blessed> is enabled.
		1191
		1192	The object will be serialised as a JSON null value.
		1193
		1194	=item 4. none of the above
		1195
		1196	If none of the settings are enabled or the respective methods are missing,
		1197	C<JSON::XS> throws an exception.

		1202
		1203	For deserialisation there are only two cases to consider: either
		1204	nonstandard tagging was used, in which case C<allow_tags> decides,
		1205	or objects cannot be automatically be deserialised, in which
		1206	case you can use postprocessing or the C<filter_json_object> or
		1207	C<filter_json_single_key_object> callbacks to get some real objects our of
		1208	your JSON.
		1209
		1210	This section only considers the tagged value case: I a tagged JSON object
		1211	is encountered during decoding and C<allow_tags> is disabled, a parse
		1212	error will result (as if tagged values were not part of the grammar).
		1213
		1214	If C<allow_tags> is enabled, C<JSON::XS> will look up the C<THAW> method
		1215	of the package/classname used during serialisation (it will not attempt
		1216	to load the package as a Perl module). If there is no such method, the
		1217	decoding will fail with an error.
		1218
		1219	Otherwise, the C<THAW> method is invoked with the classname as first
		1220	argument, the constant string C<JSON> as second argument, and all the
		1221	values from the JSON array (the values originally returned by the
		1222	C<FREEZE> method) as remaining arguments.
		1223
		1224	The method must then return the object. While technically you can return
		1225	any Perl scalar, you might have to enable the C<enable_nonref> setting to
		1226	make that work in all cases, so better return an actual blessed reference.
		1227
		1228	As an example, let's implement a C<THAW> function that regenerates the
		1229	C<My::Object> from the C<FREEZE> example earlier:
		1230
		1231	sub My::Object::THAW {
		1232	my ($class, $serialiser, $type, $id) = @_;
		1233
		1234	$class->new (type => $type, id => $id)
		1235	}

		1568	=head1 INTEROPERABILITY WITH OTHER MODULES
		1569
		1570	C<JSON::XS> uses the L<Types::Serialiser> module to provide boolean
		1571	constants. That means that the JSON true and false values will be
		1572	comaptible to true and false values of iother modules that do the same,
		1573	such as L<JSON::PP> and L<CBOR::XS>.
		1574
		1575
		1576	=head1 INTEROPERABILITY WITH OTHER JSON DECODERS
		1577
		1578	As long as you only serialise data that can be directly expressed in JSON,
		1579	C<JSON::XS> is incapable of generating invalid JSON output (modulo bugs,
		1580	but C<JSON::XS> has found more bugs in the official JSON testsuite (1)
		1581	than the official JSON testsuite has found in C<JSON::XS> (0)).
		1582
		1583	When you have trouble decoding JSON generated by this module using other
		1584	decoders, then it is very likely that you have an encoding mismatch or the
		1585	other decoder is broken.
		1586
		1587	When decoding, C<JSON::XS> is strict by default and will likely catch all
		1588	errors. There are currently two settings that change this: C<relaxed>
		1589	makes C<JSON::XS> accept (but not generate) some non-standard extensions,
		1590	and C<allow_tags> will allow you to encode and decode Perl objects, at the
		1591	cost of not outputting valid JSON anymore.
		1592
		1593	=head2 TAGGED VALUE SYNTAX AND STANDARD JSON EN/DECODERS
		1594
		1595	When you use C<allow_tags> to use the extended (and also nonstandard and
		1596	invalid) JSON syntax for serialised objects, and you still want to decode
		1597	the generated When you want to serialise objects, you can run a regex
		1598	to replace the tagged syntax by standard JSON arrays (it only works for
		1599	"normal" packagesnames without comma, newlines or single colons). First,
		1600	the readable Perl version:
		1601
		1602	# if your FREEZE methods return no values, you need this replace first:
		1603	$json =~ s/$ \s* (" (?: [^\\":,]+\|\\.\|::)* ") \s* $ \s* \[\s*\]/[$1]/gx;
		1604
		1605	# this works for non-empty constructor arg lists:
		1606	$json =~ s/$ \s* (" (?: [^\\":,]+\|\\.\|::)* ") \s* $ \s* \[/[$1,/gx;
		1607
		1608	And here is a less readable version that is easy to adapt to other
		1609	languages:
		1610
		1611	$json =~ s/$\s("([^\\":,]+\|\\.\|::)")\s$\s\[/[$1,/g;
		1612
		1613	Here is an ECMAScript version (same regex):
		1614
		1615	json = json.replace (/$\s("([^\\":,]+\|\\.\|::)")\s$\s\[/g, "[$1,");
		1616
		1617	Since this syntax converts to standard JSON arrays, it might be hard to
		1618	distinguish serialised objects from normal arrays. You can prepend a
		1619	"magic number" as first array element to reduce chances of a collision:
		1620
		1621	$json =~ s/$\s("([^\\":,]+\|\\.\|::)")\s$\s\[/["XU1peReLzT4ggEllLanBYq4G9VzliwKF",$1,/g;
		1622
		1623	And after decoding the JSON text, you could walk the data
		1624	structure looking for arrays with a first element of
		1625	C<XU1peReLzT4ggEllLanBYq4G9VzliwKF>.
		1626
		1627	The same approach can be used to create the tagged format with another
		1628	encoder. First, you create an array with the magic string as first member,
		1629	the classname as second, and constructor arguments last, encode it as part
		1630	of your JSON structure, and then:
		1631
		1632	$json =~ s/\[\s"XU1peReLzT4ggEllLanBYq4G9VzliwKF"\s,\s("([^\\":,]+\|\\.\|::)")\s*,/($1)[/g;
		1633
		1634	Again, this has some limitations - the magic string must not be encoded
		1635	with character escapes, and the constructor arguments must be non-empty.
		1636
		1637
		1638	=head1 RFC7159
		1639
		1640	Since this module was written, Google has written a new JSON RFC, RFC 7159
		1641	(and RFC7158). Unfortunately, this RFC breaks compatibility with both the
		1642	original JSON specification on www.json.org and RFC4627.
		1643
		1644	As far as I can see, you can get partial compatibility when parsing by
		1645	using C<< ->allow_nonref >>. However, consider thew security implications
		1646	of doing so.
		1647
		1648	I haven't decided yet when to break compatibility with RFC4627 by default
		1649	(and potentially leave applications insecure) and change the default to
		1650	follow RFC7159, but application authors are well advised to call C<<
		1651	->allow_nonref(0) >> even if this is the current default, if they cannot
		1652	handle non-reference values, in preparation for the day when the4 default
		1653	will change.
