NAME JSON::MaybeUTF8 - provide explicit text/UTF-8 JSON functions SYNOPSIS use JSON::MaybeUTF8 qw(:v1); binmode STDOUT, ':encoding(UTF-8)'; binmode STDERR, ':raw'; (*STDOUT)->print(encode_json_text({ text => '...' })); (*STDERR)->print(encode_json_utf8({ text => '...' })); DESCRIPTION Combines JSON::MaybeXS with Unicode::UTF8 to provide 4 functions that handle the combinations of JSON and UTF-8 encoding/decoding. The idea is to make the UTF-8-or-not behaviour more explicit in code that deals with multiple transport layers such as database, cache and I/O. This is a trivial wrapper around two other modules. decode_json_utf8 Given a UTF-8-encoded JSON byte string, returns a Perl data structure. encode_json_utf8 Given a Perl data structure, returns a UTF-8-encoded JSON byte string. decode_json_text Given a JSON string composed of Unicode characters (in Perl's internal encoding), returns a Perl data structure. encode_json_text Given a Perl data structure, returns a JSON string composed of Unicode characters (in Perl's internal encoding).
