		697	=head1 INCREMENTAL PARSING
		698
		699	In some cases, there is the need for incremental parsing of JSON
		700	texts. While this module always has to keep both JSON text and resulting
		701	Perl data structure in memory at one time, it does allow you to parse a
		702	JSON stream incrementally. It does so by accumulating text until it has
		703	a full JSON object, which it then can decode. This process is similar to
		704	using C<decode_prefix> to see if a full JSON object is available, but
		705	is much more efficient (and can be implemented with a minimum of method
		706	calls).
		707
		708	JSON::XS will only attempt to parse the JSON text once it is sure it
		709	has enough text to get a decisive result, using a very simple but
		710	truly incremental parser. This means that it sometimes won't stop as
		711	early as the full parser, for example, it doesn't detect mismatched
		712	parentheses. The only thing it guarantees is that it starts decoding as
		713	soon as a syntactically valid JSON text has been seen. This means you need
		714	to set resource limits (e.g. C<max_size>) to ensure the parser will stop
		715	parsing in the presence if syntax errors.
		716
		717	The following methods implement this incremental parser.
		718
		719	=over 4
		720
		721	=item [void, scalar or list context] = $json->incr_parse ([$string])
		722
		723	This is the central parsing function. It can both append new text and
		724	extract objects from the stream accumulated so far (both of these
		725	functions are optional).
		726
		727	If C<$string> is given, then this string is appended to the already
		728	existing JSON fragment stored in the C<$json> object.
		729
		730	After that, if the function is called in void context, it will simply
		731	return without doing anything further. This can be used to add more text
		732	in as many chunks as you want.
		733
		734	If the method is called in scalar context, then it will try to extract
		735	exactly I<one> JSON object. If that is successful, it will return this
		736	object, otherwise it will return C<undef>. If there is a parse error,
		737	this method will croak just as C<decode> would do (one can then use
		738	C<incr_skip> to skip the erroneous part). This is the most common way of
		739	using the method.
		740
		741	And finally, in list context, it will try to extract as many objects
		742	from the stream as it can find and return them, or the empty list
		743	otherwise. For this to work, there must be no separators between the JSON
		744	objects or arrays, instead they must be concatenated back-to-back. If
		745	an error occurs, an exception will be raised as in the scalar context
		746	case. Note that in this case, any previously-parsed JSON texts will be
		747	lost.
		748
		749	Example: Parse some JSON arrays/objects in a given string and return
		750	them.
		751
		752	my @objs = JSON::XS->new->incr_parse ("[5][7][1,2]");
		753
		754	=item $lvalue_string = $json->incr_text
		755
		756	This method returns the currently stored JSON fragment as an lvalue, that
		757	is, you can manipulate it. This I<only> works when a preceding call to
		758	C<incr_parse> in I<scalar context> successfully returned an object. Under
		759	all other circumstances you must not call this function (I mean it.
		760	although in simple tests it might actually work, it I<will> fail under
		761	real world conditions). As a special exception, you can also call this
		762	method before having parsed anything.
		763
		764	This function is useful in two cases: a) finding the trailing text after a
		765	JSON object or b) parsing multiple JSON objects separated by non-JSON text
		766	(such as commas).
		767
		768	=item $json->incr_skip
		769
		770	This will reset the state of the incremental parser and will remove
		771	the parsed text from the input buffer so far. This is useful after
		772	C<incr_parse> died, in which case the input buffer and incremental parser
		773	state is left unchanged, to skip the text parsed so far and to reset the
		774	parse state.
		775
		776	The difference to C<incr_reset> is that only text until the parse error
		777	occurred is removed.
		778
		779	=item $json->incr_reset
		780
		781	This completely resets the incremental parser, that is, after this call,
		782	it will be as if the parser had never parsed anything.
		783
		784	This is useful if you want to repeatedly parse JSON objects and want to
		785	ignore any trailing data, which means you have to reset the parser after
		786	each successful decode.
		787
		788	=back
		789
		790	=head2 LIMITATIONS
		791
		792	All options that affect decoding are supported, except
		793	C<allow_nonref>. The reason for this is that it cannot be made to work
		794	sensibly: JSON objects and arrays are self-delimited, i.e. you can
		795	concatenate them back to back and still decode them perfectly. This does
		796	not hold true for JSON numbers, however.
		797
		798	For example, is the string C<1> a single JSON number, or is it simply the
		799	start of C<12>? Or is C<12> a single JSON number, or the concatenation
		800	of C<1> and C<2>? In neither case you can tell, and this is why JSON::XS
		801	takes the conservative route and disallows this case.
		802
		803	=head2 EXAMPLES
		804
		805	Some examples will make all this clearer. First, a simple example that
		806	works similarly to C<decode_prefix>: We want to decode the JSON object at
		807	the start of a string and identify the portion after the JSON object:
		808
		809	my $text = "[1,2,3] hello";
		810
		811	my $json = new JSON::XS;
		812
		813	my $obj = $json->incr_parse ($text)
		814	or die "expected JSON object or array at beginning of string";
		815
		816	my $tail = $json->incr_text;
		817	# $tail now contains " hello"
		818
		819	Easy, isn't it?
		820
		821	Now for a more complicated example: Imagine a hypothetical protocol where
		822	you read some requests from a TCP stream, and each request is a JSON
		823	array, without any separation between them (in fact, it is often useful to
		824	use newlines as "separators", as these get interpreted as whitespace at
		825	the start of the JSON text, which makes it possible to test said protocol
		826	with C<telnet>...).
		827
		828	Here is how you'd do it (it is trivial to write this in an event-based
		829	manner):
		830
		831	my $json = new JSON::XS;
		832
		833	# read some data from the socket
		834	while (sysread $socket, my $buf, 4096) {
		835
		836	# split and decode as many requests as possible
		837	for my $request ($json->incr_parse ($buf)) {
		838	# act on the $request
		839	}
		840	}
		841
		842	Another complicated example: Assume you have a string with JSON objects
		843	or arrays, all separated by (optional) comma characters (e.g. C<[1],[2],
		844	[3]>). To parse them, we have to skip the commas between the JSON texts,
		845	and here is where the lvalue-ness of C<incr_text> comes in useful:
		846
		847	my $text = "[1],[2], [3]";
		848	my $json = new JSON::XS;
		849
		850	# void context, so no parsing done
		851	$json->incr_parse ($text);
		852
		853	# now extract as many objects as possible. note the
		854	# use of scalar context so incr_text can be called.
		855	while (my $obj = $json->incr_parse) {
		856	# do something with $obj
		857
		858	# now skip the optional comma
		859	$json->incr_text =~ s/^ \s* , //x;
		860	}
		861
		862	Now lets go for a very complex example: Assume that you have a gigantic
		863	JSON array-of-objects, many gigabytes in size, and you want to parse it,
		864	but you cannot load it into memory fully (this has actually happened in
		865	the real world :).
		866
		867	Well, you lost, you have to implement your own JSON parser. But JSON::XS
		868	can still help you: You implement a (very simple) array parser and let
		869	JSON decode the array elements, which are all full JSON objects on their
		870	own (this wouldn't work if the array elements could be JSON numbers, for
		871	example):
		872
		873	my $json = new JSON::XS;
		874
		875	# open the monster
		876	open my $fh, "<bigfile.json"
		877	or die "bigfile: $!";
		878
		879	# first parse the initial "["
		880	for (;;) {
		881	sysread $fh, my $buf, 65536
		882	or die "read error: $!";
		883	$json->incr_parse ($buf); # void context, so no parsing
		884
		885	# Exit the loop once we found and removed(!) the initial "[".
		886	# In essence, we are (ab-)using the $json object as a simple scalar
		887	# we append data to.
		888	last if $json->incr_text =~ s/^ \s* \[ //x;
		889	}
		890
		891	# now we have the skipped the initial "[", so continue
		892	# parsing all the elements.
		893	for (;;) {
		894	# in this loop we read data until we got a single JSON object
		895	for (;;) {
		896	if (my $obj = $json->incr_parse) {
		897	# do something with $obj
		898	last;
		899	}
		900
		901	# add more data
		902	sysread $fh, my $buf, 65536
		903	or die "read error: $!";
		904	$json->incr_parse ($buf); # void context, so no parsing
		905	}
		906
		907	# in this loop we read data until we either found and parsed the
		908	# separating "," between elements, or the final "]"
		909	for (;;) {
		910	# first skip whitespace
		911	$json->incr_text =~ s/^\s*//;
		912
		913	# if we find "]", we are done
		914	if ($json->incr_text =~ s/^\]//) {
		915	print "finished.\n";
		916	exit;
		917	}
		918
		919	# if we find ",", we can continue with the next element
		920	if ($json->incr_text =~ s/^,//) {
		921	last;
		922	}
		923
		924	# if we find anything else, we have a parse error!
		925	if (length $json->incr_text) {
		926	die "parse error near ", $json->incr_text;
		927	}
		928
		929	# else add more data
		930	sysread $fh, my $buf, 65536
		931	or die "read error: $!";
		932	$json->incr_parse ($buf); # void context, so no parsing
		933	}
		934
		935	This is a complex example, but most of the complexity comes from the fact
		936	that we are trying to be correct (bear with me if I am wrong, I never ran
		937	the above example :).

		1186
		1187	For deserialisation there are only two cases to consider: either

		1191	C<filter_json_single_key_object> callbacks to get some real objects our of
		1192	your JSON.
		1193
		1194	This section only considers the tagged value case: I a tagged JSON object
		1195	is encountered during decoding and C<allow_tags> is disabled, a parse
		1196	error will result (as if tagged values were not part of the grammar).
		1197
		1198	If C<allow_tags> is enabled, C<JSON::XS> will look up the C<THAW> method
		1199	of the package/classname used during serialisation (it will not attempt
		1200	to load the package as a Perl module). If there is no such method, the
		1201	decoding will fail with an error.
		1202
		1203	Otherwise, the C<THAW> method is invoked with the classname as first
		1204	argument, the constant string C<JSON> as second argument, and all the
		1205	values from the JSON array (the values originally returned by the
		1206	C<FREEZE> method) as remaining arguments.
		1207
		1208	The method must then return the object. While technically you can return
		1209	any Perl scalar, you might have to enable the C<enable_nonref> setting to
		1210	make that work in all cases, so better return an actual blessed reference.
		1211
		1212	As an example, let's implement a C<THAW> function that regenerates the
		1213	C<My::Object> from the C<FREEZE> example earlier:
		1214
		1215	sub My::Object::THAW {
		1216	my ($class, $serialiser, $type, $id) = @_;

		1219	}

		1222	=head1 ENCODING/CODESET FLAG NOTES
		1223
		1224	The interested reader might have seen a number of flags that signify
		1225	encodings or codesets - C<utf8>, C<latin1> and C<ascii>. There seems to be
		1226	some confusion on what these do, so here is a short comparison:
		1227
		1228	C<utf8> controls whether the JSON text created by C<encode> (and expected
		1229	by C<decode>) is UTF-8 encoded or not, while C<latin1> and C<ascii> only
		1230	control whether C<encode> escapes character values outside their respective
		1231	codeset range. Neither of these flags conflict with each other, although
		1232	some combinations make less sense than others.
		1233
		1234	Care has been taken to make all flags symmetrical with respect to
		1235	C<encode> and C<decode>, that is, texts encoded with any combination of
		1236	these flag values will be correctly decoded when the same flags are used
		1237	- in general, if you use different flag settings while encoding vs. when
		1238	decoding you likely have a bug somewhere.
		1239
		1240	Below comes a verbose discussion of these flags. Note that a "codeset" is
		1241	simply an abstract set of character-codepoint pairs, while an encoding
		1242	takes those codepoint numbers and I<encodes> them, in our case into
		1243	octets. Unicode is (among other things) a codeset, UTF-8 is an encoding,
		1244	and ISO-8859-1 (= latin 1) and ASCII are both codesets I<and> encodings at
		1245	the same time, which can be confusing.
		1246
		1247	=over 4
		1248
		1249	=item C<utf8> flag disabled
		1250
		1251	When C<utf8> is disabled (the default), then C<encode>/C<decode> generate
		1252	and expect Unicode strings, that is, characters with high ordinal Unicode
		1253	values (> 255) will be encoded as such characters, and likewise such
		1254	characters are decoded as-is, no changes to them will be done, except
		1255	"(re-)interpreting" them as Unicode codepoints or Unicode characters,
		1256	respectively (to Perl, these are the same thing in strings unless you do
		1257	funny/weird/dumb stuff).
		1258
		1259	This is useful when you want to do the encoding yourself (e.g. when you
		1260	want to have UTF-16 encoded JSON texts) or when some other layer does
		1261	the encoding for you (for example, when printing to a terminal using a
		1262	filehandle that transparently encodes to UTF-8 you certainly do NOT want
		1263	to UTF-8 encode your data first and have Perl encode it another time).
		1264
		1265	=item C<utf8> flag enabled
		1266
		1267	If the C<utf8>-flag is enabled, C<encode>/C<decode> will encode all
		1268	characters using the corresponding UTF-8 multi-byte sequence, and will
		1269	expect your input strings to be encoded as UTF-8, that is, no "character"
		1270	of the input string must have any value > 255, as UTF-8 does not allow
		1271	that.
		1272
		1273	The C<utf8> flag therefore switches between two modes: disabled means you
		1274	will get a Unicode string in Perl, enabled means you get an UTF-8 encoded
		1275	octet/binary string in Perl.
		1276
		1277	=item C<latin1> or C<ascii> flags enabled
		1278
		1279	With C<latin1> (or C<ascii>) enabled, C<encode> will escape characters
		1280	with ordinal values > 255 (> 127 with C<ascii>) and encode the remaining
		1281	characters as specified by the C<utf8> flag.
		1282
		1283	If C<utf8> is disabled, then the result is also correctly encoded in those
		1284	character sets (as both are proper subsets of Unicode, meaning that a
		1285	Unicode string with all character values < 256 is the same thing as a
		1286	ISO-8859-1 string, and a Unicode string with all character values < 128 is
		1287	the same thing as an ASCII string in Perl).
		1288
		1289	If C<utf8> is enabled, you still get a correct UTF-8-encoded string,
		1290	regardless of these flags, just some more characters will be escaped using
		1291	C<\uXXXX> then before.
		1292
		1293	Note that ISO-8859-1-I<encoded> strings are not compatible with UTF-8
		1294	encoding, while ASCII-encoded strings are. That is because the ISO-8859-1
		1295	encoding is NOT a subset of UTF-8 (despite the ISO-8859-1 I<codeset> being
		1296	a subset of Unicode), while ASCII is.
		1297
		1298	Surprisingly, C<decode> will ignore these flags and so treat all input
		1299	values as governed by the C<utf8> flag. If it is disabled, this allows you
		1300	to decode ISO-8859-1- and ASCII-encoded strings, as both strict subsets of
		1301	Unicode. If it is enabled, you can correctly decode UTF-8 encoded strings.
		1302
		1303	So neither C<latin1> nor C<ascii> are incompatible with the C<utf8> flag -
		1304	they only govern when the JSON output engine escapes a character or not.
		1305
		1306	The main use for C<latin1> is to relatively efficiently store binary data
		1307	as JSON, at the expense of breaking compatibility with most JSON decoders.
		1308
		1309	The main use for C<ascii> is to force the output to not contain characters
		1310	with values > 127, which means you can interpret the resulting string
		1311	as UTF-8, ISO-8859-1, ASCII, KOI8-R or most about any character set and
		1312	8-bit-encoding, and still get the same data structure back. This is useful
		1313	when your channel for JSON transfer is not 8-bit clean or the encoding
		1314	might be mangled in between (e.g. in mail), and works because ASCII is a
		1315	proper subset of most 8-bit and multibyte encodings in use in the world.
		1316
		1317	=back
		1318
		1319
		1320	=head2 JSON and ECMAscript
		1321
		1322	JSON syntax is based on how literals are represented in javascript (the
		1323	not-standardised predecessor of ECMAscript) which is presumably why it is
		1324	called "JavaScript Object Notation".
		1325
		1326	However, JSON is not a subset (and also not a superset of course) of
		1327	ECMAscript (the standard) or javascript (whatever browsers actually
		1328	implement).
		1329
		1330	If you want to use javascript's C<eval> function to "parse" JSON, you
		1331	might run into parse errors for valid JSON texts, or the resulting data
		1332	structure might not be queryable:
		1333
		1334	One of the problems is that U+2028 and U+2029 are valid characters inside
		1335	JSON strings, but are not allowed in ECMAscript string literals, so the
		1336	following Perl fragment will not output something that can be guaranteed
		1337	to be parsable by javascript's C<eval>:
		1338
		1339	use JSON::XS;
		1340
		1341	print encode_json [chr 0x2028];
		1342
		1343	The right fix for this is to use a proper JSON parser in your javascript
		1344	programs, and not rely on C<eval> (see for example Douglas Crockford's
		1345	F<json2.js> parser).
		1346
		1347	If this is not an option, you can, as a stop-gap measure, simply encode to
		1348	ASCII-only JSON:
		1349
		1350	use JSON::XS;
		1351
		1352	print JSON::XS->new->ascii->encode ([chr 0x2028]);
		1353
		1354	Note that this will enlarge the resulting JSON text quite a bit if you
		1355	have many non-ASCII characters. You might be tempted to run some regexes
		1356	to only escape U+2028 and U+2029, e.g.:
		1357
		1358	# DO NOT USE THIS!
		1359	my $json = JSON::XS->new->utf8->encode ([chr 0x2028]);
		1360	$json =~ s/\xe2\x80\xa8/\\u2028/g; # escape U+2028
		1361	$json =~ s/\xe2\x80\xa9/\\u2029/g; # escape U+2029
		1362	print $json;
		1363
		1364	Note that I<this is a bad idea>: the above only works for U+2028 and
		1365	U+2029 and thus only for fully ECMAscript-compliant parsers. Many existing
		1366	javascript implementations, however, have issues with other characters as
		1367	well - using C<eval> naively simply I<will> cause problems.
		1368
		1369	Another problem is that some javascript implementations reserve
		1370	some property names for their own purposes (which probably makes
		1371	them non-ECMAscript-compliant). For example, Iceweasel reserves the
		1372	C<__proto__> property name for its own purposes.
		1373
		1374	If that is a problem, you could parse try to filter the resulting JSON
		1375	output for these property strings, e.g.:
		1376
		1377	$json =~ s/"__proto__"\s*:/"__proto__renamed":/g;
		1378
		1379	This works because C<__proto__> is not valid outside of strings, so every
		1380	occurrence of C<"__proto__"\s*:> must be a string used as property name.

		1420	I have been pressured multiple times by Brian Ingerson (one of the
		1421	authors of the YAML specification) to remove this paragraph, despite him
		1422	acknowledging that the actual incompatibilities exist. As I was personally

		1424	educate people about these issues, so others do not run into the same

		1428	In my opinion, instead of pressuring and insulting people who actually

		1439	of JSON. It would be so easy to fix, but apparently, bullying people and

		1571
		1572	Sometimes people avoid the Perl locale support and directly call the

		1574
		1575	This breaks both perl and modules such as JSON::XS, as stringification of
		1576	numbers no longer works correctly (e.g. C<$x = 0.1; print "$x"+1> might
		1577	print C<1>, and JSON::XS might output illegal JSON as JSON::XS relies on
		1578	perl to stringify numbers).
		1579
		1580	The solution is simple: don't call C<setlocale>, or use it for only those
		1581	categories you need, such as C<LC_MESSAGES> or C<LC_CTYPE>.
		1582
		1583	If you need C<LC_NUMERIC>, you should enable it only around the code that
