141=head1 A FEW NOTES ON UNICODE AND PERL
142
143Since this often leads to confusion, here are a few very clear words on
144how Unicode works in Perl, modulo bugs.
145
146=over 4
147
148=item 1. Perl strings can store characters with ordinal values > 255.
149
150This enables you to store unicode characters as single characters in a
151Perl string - very natural.
152
153=item 2. Perl does I<not> associate an encoding with your strings.
154
155Unless you force it to, e.g. when matching it against a regex, or printing
156the scalar to a file, in which case Perl either interprets your string as
157locale-encoded text, octets/binary, or as Unicode, depending on various
158settings. In no case is an encoding stored together with your data, it is
159I<use> that decides encoding, not any magical metadata.
160
161=item 3. The internal utf-8 flag has no meaning with regards to the
162encoding of your string.
163
164Just ignore that flag unless you debug a Perl bug, a module written in
165XS or want to dive into the internals of perl. Otherwise it will only
166confuse you, as, despite the name, it says nothing about how your string
167is encoded. You can have unicode strings with that flag set, with that
168flag clear, and you can have binary data with that flag set and that flag
169clear. Other possibilities exist, too.
170
171If you didn't know about that flag, just the better, pretend it doesn't
172exist.
173
174=item 4. A "Unicode String" is simply a string where each character can be
175validly interpreted as a Unicode codepoint.
176
177If you have UTF-8 encoded data, it is no longer a Unicode string, but a
178Unicode string encoded in UTF-8, giving you a binary string.
179
180=item 5. A string containing "high" (> 255) character values is I<not> a UTF-8 string.
181
182Its a fact. Learn to live with it.
183
184=back
185
186I hope this helps :)

335=item $json = $json->relaxed ([$enable])
336
337If C<$enable> is true (or missing), then C<decode> will accept some
338extensions to normal JSON syntax (see below). C<encode> will not be
339affected in anyway. I<Be aware that this option makes you accept invalid
340JSON texts as if they were valid!>. I suggest only to use this option to
341parse application-specific files written by humans (configuration files,
342resource files etc.)
343
344If C<$enable> is false (the default), then C<decode> will only accept
345valid JSON texts.
346
347Currently accepted extensions are:

350
351=item * list items can have an end-comma
352
353JSON I<separates> array elements and key-value pairs with commas. This
354can be annoying if you write JSON texts manually and want to be able to
355quickly append elements, so this extension accepts comma at the end of
356such items not just between them:
357
358 [
359 1,
360 2, <- this comma not normally allowed
361 ]
362 {
363 "k1": "v1",
364 "k2": "v2", <- this comma not normally allowed
365 }
366
367=item * shell-style '#'-comments
368
369Whenever JSON allows whitespace, shell-style comments are additionally
370allowed. They are terminated by the first carriage-return or line-feed
371character, after which more white-space and comments are allowed.
372

449
450=item $json = $json->filter_json_object ([$coderef->($hashref)])
451
452When C<$coderef> is specified, it will be called from C<decode> each
453time it decodes a JSON object. The only argument is a reference to the
454newly-created hash. If the code references returns a single scalar (which
455need not be a reference), this value (i.e. a copy of that scalar to avoid
456aliasing) is inserted into the deserialised data structure. If it returns
457an empty list (NOTE: I<not> C<undef>, which is a valid scalar), the
458original deserialised hash will be inserted. This setting can slow down
459decoding considerably.
460
461When C<$coderef> is omitted or undefined, any existing callback will
462be removed and C<decode> will not change the deserialised hash in any
463way.
464
465Example, convert all JSON objects into the integer 5:
466
467 my $js = JSON::XS->new->filter_json_object (sub { 5 });
468 # returns [5]
469 $js->decode ('[{}]')
470 # throw an exception because allow_nonref is not enabled
471 # so a lone 5 is not allowed.
472 $js->decode ('{"a":1, "b":2}');
473
474=item $json = $json->filter_json_single_key_object ($key [=> $coderef->($value)])
475
476Works remotely similar to C<filter_json_object>, but is only called for
477JSON objects having a single key named C<$key>.
478
479This C<$coderef> is called before the one specified via
480C<filter_json_object>, if any. It gets passed the single value in the JSON
481object. If it returns a single value, it will be inserted into the data
482structure. If it returns nothing (not even C<undef> but the empty list),
483the callback from C<filter_json_object> will be called next, as if no
484single-key callback were specified.
485
486If C<$coderef> is omitted or undefined, the corresponding callback will be
487disabled. There can only ever be one callback for a given key.
488
489As this callback gets called less often then the C<filter_json_object>
490one, decoding speed will not usually suffer as much. Therefore, single-key
491objects make excellent targets to serialise Perl objects into, especially
492as single-key JSON objects are as close to the type-tagged value concept
493as JSON gets (its basically an ID/VALUE tuple). Of course, JSON does not
494support this in any way, so you need to make sure your data never looks
495like a serialised Perl hash.
496
497Typical names for the single object key are C<__class_whatever__>, or
498C<$__dollars_are_rarely_used__$> or C<}ugly_brace_placement>, or even
499things like C<__class_md5sum(classname)__>, to reduce the risk of clashing
500with real hashes.
501
502Example, decode JSON objects of the form C<< { "__widget__" => <id> } >>
503into the corresponding C<< $WIDGET{<id>} >> object:
504
505 # return whatever is in $WIDGET{5}:
506 JSON::XS
507 ->new
508 ->filter_json_single_key_object (__widget__ => sub {
509 $WIDGET{ $_[0] }
510 })
511 ->decode ('{"__widget__": 5')
512
513 # this can be used with a TO_JSON method in some "widget" class
514 # for serialisation to json:
515 sub WidgetBase::TO_JSON {
516 my ($self) = @_;
517
518 unless ($self->{id}) {
519 $self->{id} = ..get..some..id..;
520 $WIDGET{$self->{id}} = $self;
521 }
522
523 { __widget__ => $self->{id} }

486represent more values exactly than (floating point) numbers. 659might represent more values exactly than (floating point) numbers.
660
661If the number consists of digits only, JSON::XS will try to represent
662it as an integer value. If that fails, it will try to represent it as
663a numeric (floating point) value if that is possible without loss of
664precision. Otherwise it will preserve the number as a string value.
665
666Numbers containing a fractional or exponential part will always be
667represented as numeric (floating point) values, possibly at a loss of
668precision.
669
670This might create round-tripping problems as numbers might become strings,
671but as Perl is typeless there is no other way to do it.
