libjson-parse-perl

A module for parsing JSON. (JSON means "JavaScript Object Notation" and it is specified in RFC 8259.) JSON::Parse offers the function parse_json, which takes a string containing JSON, and returns an equivalent Perl structure. It also offers validation of JSON via valid_json, which returns true or false depending on whether the JSON is correct or not, and assert_valid_json, which produces a descriptive fatal error if the JSON is invalid. A function read_json reads JSON from a file, and there is a safer version of parse_json called parse_json_safe which doesn't throw exceptions. For special cases of parsing, there are also methods new and parse, which create a JSON parsing object and run it on text. See METHODS. JSON::Parse accepts only UTF-8 as input. See UTF-8 only and Handling of Unicode.
