7SYNOPSIS
8 This module will provide a coherent API to bring together the various
9 JSON modules currently on CPAN.
10
11 use JSON::Any;
12
13 my $j = JSON::Any->new;
14
15 $json = $j->objToJson({foo=>'bar', baz=>'quux'});
16
17 $obj = $j->jsonToObj($json);
18
19 or without creating an object:
20
21 $json = JSON::Any->objToJson({foo=>'bar', baz=>'quux'});
22
23 $obj = JSON::Any->jsonToObj($json);
24
25 JSON::Any currently only implements converting back and forth between
26 JSON and hashrefs. There is considerably more functionality in many of
27 the JSON modules. Ability to access these will be provided in subsequent
28 versions of JSON::Any.
29
30 On load, JSON::Any will find a valid JSON module in your @INC by looking
31 for them in this order:
32
33 JSON::XS
34 JSON
35 JSON::DWIW
36 JSON::Syck
37
38 And loading the first one it finds.
39
40 You may change the order by specifying it on the "use JSON::Any" line:
41
42 use JSON::Any qw(DWIW Syck XS JSON);
43
44 Specifying an order that is missing one of the modules will prevent that
45 module from being used:
46
47 use JSON::Any qw(DWIW XS JSON);
48
49 This will check in that order, and will never attempt to load
50 JSON::Syck.
51
52FUNCTIONS
53 "new"
54 There are currently no arguments to "new"
55
56 "handlerType"
57 Takes no arguments, returns a string indicating which JSON Module is in
58 use.
59
60 "objToJson"
61 Takes a single argument, a hashref to be converted into JSON. It returns
62 the JSON text in a scalar.
63
64 "jsonToObj"
65 Takes a single argument, a string of JSON text to be converted back into
66 a hashref.

78ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
79 This module came about after discussions on irc.perl.org about the fact
80 that there were now six separate JSON perl modules with different
81 interfaces.
82
83 In the spirit of Class::Any, I have created JSON::Any with the
84 considerable help of Chris 'Perigrin' Prather, and Matt 'mst' Trout.
