139=head1 A FEW NOTES ON UNICODE AND PERL
140
141Since this often leads to confusion, here are a few very clear words on
142how Unicode works in Perl, modulo bugs.
143
144=over 4
145
146=item 1. Perl strings can store characters with ordinal values > 255.
147
148This enables you to store unicode characters as single characters in a
149Perl string - very natural.
150
151=item 2. Perl does I<not> associate an encoding with your strings.
152
153Unless you force it to, e.g. when matching it against a regex, or printing
154the scalar to a file, in which case Perl either interprets your string as
155locale-encoded text, octets/binary, or as Unicode, depending on various
156settings. In no case is an encoding stored together with your data, it is
157I<use> that decides encoding, not any magical metadata.
158
159=item 3. The internal utf-8 flag has no meaning with regards to the
160encoding of your string.
161
162Just ignore that flag unless you debug a Perl bug, a module written in
163XS or want to dive into the internals of perl. Otherwise it will only
164confuse you, as, despite the name, it says nothing about how your string
165is encoded. You can have unicode strings with that flag set, with that
166flag clear, and you can have binary data with that flag set and that flag
167clear. Other possibilities exist, too.
168
169If you didn't know about that flag, just the better, pretend it doesn't
170exist.
171
172=item 4. A "Unicode String" is simply a string where each character can be
173validly interpreted as a Unicode codepoint.
174
175If you have UTF-8 encoded data, it is no longer a Unicode string, but a
176Unicode string encoded in UTF-8, giving you a binary string.
177
178=item 5. A string containing "high" (> 255) character values is I<not> a UTF-8 string.
179
180Its a fact. Learn to live with it.
181
182=back
183
184I hope this helps :)

333=item $json = $json->relaxed ([$enable])
334
335If C<$enable> is true (or missing), then C<decode> will accept some
336extensions to normal JSON syntax (see below). C<encode> will not be
337affected in anyway. I<Be aware that this option makes you accept invalid
338JSON texts as if they were valid!>. I suggest only to use this option to
339parse application-specific files written by humans (configuration files,
340resource files etc.)
341
342If C<$enable> is false (the default), then C<decode> will only accept
343valid JSON texts.
344
345Currently accepted extensions are:

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

447
448=item $json = $json->filter_json_object ([$coderef->($hashref)])
449
450When C<$coderef> is specified, it will be called from C<decode> each
451time it decodes a JSON object. The only argument is a reference to the
452newly-created hash. If the code references returns a single scalar (which
453need not be a reference), this value (i.e. a copy of that scalar to avoid
454aliasing) is inserted into the deserialised data structure. If it returns
455an empty list (NOTE: I<not> C<undef>, which is a valid scalar), the
456original deserialised hash will be inserted. This setting can slow down
457decoding considerably.
458
459When C<$coderef> is omitted or undefined, any existing callback will
460be removed and C<decode> will not change the deserialised hash in any
461way.
462
463Example, convert all JSON objects into the integer 5:
464
465 my $js = JSON::XS->new->filter_json_object (sub { 5 });
466 # returns [5]
467 $js->decode ('[{}]')
468 # throw an exception because allow_nonref is not enabled
469 # so a lone 5 is not allowed.
470 $js->decode ('{"a":1, "b":2}');
471
472=item $json = $json->filter_json_single_key_object ($key [=> $coderef->($value)])
473
474Works remotely similar to C<filter_json_object>, but is only called for
475JSON objects having a single key named C<$key>.
476
477This C<$coderef> is called before the one specified via
478C<filter_json_object>, if any. It gets passed the single value in the JSON
479object. If it returns a single value, it will be inserted into the data
480structure. If it returns nothing (not even C<undef> but the empty list),
481the callback from C<filter_json_object> will be called next, as if no
482single-key callback were specified.
483
484If C<$coderef> is omitted or undefined, the corresponding callback will be
485disabled. There can only ever be one callback for a given key.
486
487As this callback gets called less often then the C<filter_json_object>
488one, decoding speed will not usually suffer as much. Therefore, single-key
489objects make excellent targets to serialise Perl objects into, especially
490as single-key JSON objects are as close to the type-tagged value concept
491as JSON gets (its basically an ID/VALUE tuple). Of course, JSON does not
492support this in any way, so you need to make sure your data never looks
493like a serialised Perl hash.
494
495Typical names for the single object key are C<__class_whatever__>, or
496C<$__dollars_are_rarely_used__$> or C<}ugly_brace_placement>, or even
497things like C<__class_md5sum(classname)__>, to reduce the risk of clashing
498with real hashes.
499
500Example, decode JSON objects of the form C<< { "__widget__" => <id> } >>
501into the corresponding C<< $WIDGET{<id>} >> object:
502
503 # return whatever is in $WIDGET{5}:
504 JSON::XS
505 ->new
506 ->filter_json_single_key_object (__widget__ => sub {
507 $WIDGET{ $_[0] }
508 })
509 ->decode ('{"__widget__": 5')
510
511 # this can be used with a TO_JSON method in some "widget" class
512 # for serialisation to json:
513 sub WidgetBase::TO_JSON {
514 my ($self) = @_;
515
516 unless ($self->{id}) {
517 $self->{id} = ..get..some..id..;
518 $WIDGET{$self->{id}} = $self;
519 }
520
521 { __widget__ => $self->{id} }

486represent more values exactly than (floating point) numbers. 657might represent more values exactly than (floating point) numbers.
658
659If the number consists of digits only, JSON::XS will try to represent
660it as an integer value. If that fails, it will try to represent it as
661a numeric (floating point) value if that is possible without loss of
662precision. Otherwise it will preserve the number as a string value.
663
664Numbers containing a fractional or exponential part will always be
665represented as numeric (floating point) values, possibly at a loss of
666precision.
667
668This might create round-tripping problems as numbers might become strings,
669but as Perl is typeless there is no other way to do it.
