 If C<$enable> is false, then the C<encode> method will not escape Unicode

 The main use for this flag is efficiently encoding binary data as JSON
 text, as most octets will not be escaped, resulting in a smaller encoded
 size. The disadvantage is that the resulting JSON text is encoded
 in latin1 (and must correctly be treated as such when storing and
-transfering), a rare encoding for JSON. It is therefore most useful when

 you want to store data structures known to contain binary data efficiently

 =item $json = $json->utf8 ([$enable])
+=item $enabled = $json->get_utf8
 If C<$enable> is true (or missing), then the C<encode> method will encode
 the JSON result into UTF-8, as required by many protocols, while the
 C<decode> method expects to be handled an UTF-8-encoded string.  Please
 note that UTF-8-encoded strings do not contain any characters outside the
 range C<0..255>, they are thus useful for bytewise/binary I/O. In future
 versions, enabling this option might enable autodetection of the UTF-16
 and UTF-32 encoding families, as described in RFC4627.

 =item $json = $json->canonical ([$enable])
+=item $enabled = $json->get_canonical
 If C<$enable> is true (or missing), then the C<encode> method will output JSON objects
 by sorting their keys. This is adding a comparatively high overhead.
 If C<$enable> is false, then the C<encode> method will output key-value
 pairs in the order Perl stores them (which will likely change between runs
 of the same script).
 This option is useful if you want the same data structure to be encoded as
 the same JSON text (given the same overall settings). If it is disabled,

 =item $json = $json->allow_nonref ([$enable])

 If C<$enable> is true (or missing), then the C<encode> method can convert a
 non-reference into its corresponding string, number or null JSON value,
 which is an extension to RFC4627. Likewise, C<decode> will accept those JSON
 values instead of croaking.

 =item $json = $json->allow_blessed ([$enable])

 on the object's class. If found, it will be called in scalar context
 and the resulting scalar will be encoded instead of the object. If no

 support this in any way, so you need to make sure your data never looks
 like a serialised Perl hash.
 Typical names for the single object key are C<__class_whatever__>, or
 C<$__dollars_are_rarely_used__$> or C<}ugly_brace_placement>, or even
       { __widget__ => $self->{id} }

 =item $json = $json->shrink ([$enable])
+=item $enabled = $json->get_shrink
 Perl usually over-allocates memory a bit when allocating space for
 strings. This flag optionally resizes strings generated by either
 C<encode> or C<decode> to their minimum size possible. This can save
 memory when your JSON texts are either very very long or you have many
 strings that look like integers or floats into integers or floats
 internally (there is no difference on the Perl level), saving space.

 or decoding. If the JSON text or Perl data structure has an equal or
 higher nesting level then this limit, then the encoder and decoder will
 stop and croak at that point.

 See SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS, below, for more info on why this is useful.
 =item $json = $json->max_size ([$maximum_string_size])
+=item $max_size = $json->get_max_size
 Set the maximum length a JSON text may have (in bytes) where decoding is
 being attempted. The default is C<0>, meaning no limit. When C<decode>
 is called on a string longer then this number of characters it will not
 attempt to decode the string but throw an exception. This setting has no

 circumstances automatically, preserving round-tripping characteristics

 usually a good indication of the size of the resources required to decode
 it into a Perl structure. While JSON::XS can check the size of the JSON
 text, it might be too late when you already have it in memory, so you
 might want to check the size before you accept the string.
 And last but least, something else could bomb you that I forgot to think
 of. In that case, you get to keep the pieces. I am always open for hints,
 though...
