            (http://fleur.hio.jp/perldoc/mix/lib/JSON/XS.html)
 =head1 SYNOPSIS
 primary goal is to be I<correct> and its secondary goal is to be
 I<fast>. To reach the latter goal it was written in C.
 Beginning with version 2.0 of the JSON module, when both JSON and
 JSON::XS are installed, then JSON will fall back on JSON::XS (this can be
-overriden) with no overhead due to emulation (by inheritign constructor
+overridden) with no overhead due to emulation (by inheriting constructor
 and methods). If JSON::XS is not available, it will fall back to the
 compatible JSON::PP module as backend, so using JSON instead of JSON::XS
 gives you a portable JSON API that can be fast when you need and doesn't
 require a C compiler when that is a problem.
 This module knows how to handle Unicode, documents how and when it does
 so, and even documents what "correct" means.
 =item * round-trip integrity
-When you serialise a perl data structure using only datatypes supported
+When you serialise a perl data structure using only data types supported
 by JSON, the deserialised data structure is identical on the Perl level.
 (e.g. the string "2.0" doesn't suddenly become "2" just because it looks
 like a number). There minor I<are> exceptions to this, read the MAPPING
 section below to learn about those.
 Compared to other JSON modules and other serialisers such as Storable,
 this module usually compares favourably in terms of speed, too.
 =item * simple to use
-This module has both a simple functional interface as well as an objetc

 oriented interface interface.
 =item * reasonably versatile output formats
 You can choose between the most compact guaranteed-single-line format
-possible (nice for simple line-based protocols), a pure-ascii format
+possible (nice for simple line-based protocols), a pure-ASCII format
 (for when your transport is not 8-bit clean, still supports the whole
 Unicode range), or a pretty-printed format (for when you want to read that
 stuff). Or you can combine those features in whatever way you like.

 =item $is_boolean = JSON::XS::is_bool $scalar
 Returns true if the passed scalar represents either JSON::XS::true or
 JSON::XS::false, two constants that act like C<1> and C<0>, respectively

 exist.

+validly interpreted as a Unicode code point.
 If you have UTF-8 encoded data, it is no longer a Unicode string, but a
 Unicode string encoded in UTF-8, giving you a binary string.
 =item 5. A string containing "high" (> 255) character values is I<not> a UTF-8 string.
 Example, encode a Perl scalar as JSON value with enabled C<allow_nonref>,
 resulting in an invalid JSON text:
    JSON::XS->new->allow_nonref->encode ("Hello, World!")
    => "Hello, World!"
+=item $json = $json->allow_unknown ([$enable])
+=item $enabled = $json->get_allow_unknown
+If C<$enable> is true (or missing), then C<encode> will I<not> throw an
+exception when it encounters values it cannot represent in JSON (for
+example, filehandles) but instead will encode a JSON C<null> value. Note
+that blessed objects are not included here and are handled separately by
+c<allow_nonref>.
+If C<$enable> is false (the default), then C<encode> will throw an
+exception when it encounters anything it cannot encode as JSON.
+This option does not affect C<decode> in any way, and it is recommended to
+leave it off unless you know your communications partner.

 Nesting level is defined by number of hash- or arrayrefs that the encoder
 needs to traverse to reach a given point or the number of C<{> or C<[>
 characters without their matching closing parenthesis crossed to reach a
 given character in a string.
 Setting the maximum depth to one disallows any nesting, so that ensures
 that the object is only a single hash/object or array.

 =head1 INCREMENTAL PARSING
-[This section is still EXPERIMENTAL]
 In some cases, there is the need for incremental parsing of JSON
 texts. While this module always has to keep both JSON text and resulting
 Perl data structure in memory at one time, it does allow you to parse a
 JSON stream incrementally. It does so by accumulating text until it has
 objects or arrays, instead they must be concatenated back-to-back. If
 an error occurs, an exception will be raised as in the scalar context
 case. Note that in this case, any previously-parsed JSON texts will be
 lost.
-If there is a parse
 =item $lvalue_string = $json->incr_text
 This method returns the currently stored JSON fragment as an lvalue, that
 is, you can manipulate it. This I<only> works when a preceding call to
 C<incr_parse> in I<scalar context> successfully returned an object. Under
 method before having parsed anything.
 This function is useful in two cases: a) finding the trailing text after a
 JSON object or b) parsing multiple JSON objects separated by non-JSON text
 (such as commas).
+=item $json->incr_skip
+This will reset the state of the incremental parser and will remove the
+parsed text from the input buffer. This is useful after C<incr_parse>
+died, in which case the input buffer and incremental parser state is left
+unchanged, to skip the text parsed so far and to reset the parse state.
+=item $json->incr_reset
+This completely resets the incremental parser, that is, after this call,
+it will be as if the parser had never parsed anything.
+This is useful if you want ot repeatedly parse JSON objects and want to
+ignore any trailing data, which means you have to reset the parser after
+each successful decode.
 =back
 =head2 LIMITATIONS
 Other unblessed references are generally not allowed and will cause an
 exception to be thrown, except for references to the integers C<0> and
 C<1>, which get turned into C<false> and C<true> atoms in JSON. You can
 also use C<JSON::XS::false> and C<JSON::XS::true> to improve readability.
-   encode_json [\0,JSON::XS::true]      # yields [false,true]
+   encode_json [\0, JSON::XS::true]      # yields [false,true]
 =item JSON::XS::true, JSON::XS::false
 These special values become JSON true and JSON false values,
 respectively. You can also use C<\1> and C<\0> directly if you want.
 First comes a comparison between various modules using
 a very short single-line JSON string (also available at
 L<http://dist.schmorp.de/misc/json/short.json>).
-   {"method": "handleMessage", "params": ["user1", "we were just talking"], \
+   {"method": "handleMessage", "params": ["user1",
-   "id": null, "array":[1,11,234,-5,1e5,1e7, true,  false]}
+   "we were just talking"], "id": null, "array":[1,11,234,-5,1e5,1e7,
+   true,  false]}
 It shows the number of encodes/decodes per second (JSON::XS uses
 the functional interface, while JSON::XS/2 uses the OO interface
 with pretty-printing and hashkey sorting enabled, JSON::XS/3 enables
 shrink). Higher is better:
