=head1 NAME

JSON::Syck - JSON is YAML (but consider using L<JSON::XS> instead!)

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use JSON::Syck; # no exports by default 

    my $data = JSON::Syck::Load($json);
    my $json = JSON::Syck::Dump($data);

    # $file can be an IO object, or a filename
    my $data = JSON::Syck::LoadFile($file);
    JSON::Syck::DumpFile($file, $data);

    # Dump into a pre-existing buffer
    my $json;
    JSON::Syck::DumpInto(\$json, $data);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

JSON::Syck is a syck implementation of JSON parsing and generation. Because
JSON is YAML (L<http://redhanded.hobix.com/inspect/yamlIsJson.html>), using
syck gives you a fast and memory-efficient parser and dumper for JSON data
representation.

However, a newer module L<JSON::XS>, has since emerged.  It is more flexible,
efficient and robust, so please consider using it instead of this module.

=head1 DIFFERENCE WITH JSON

You might want to know the difference between the I<JSON> module and
this one.

Since JSON is a pure-perl module and JSON::Syck is based on libsyck,
JSON::Syck is supposed to be very fast and memory efficient. See
chansen's benchmark table at
L<http://idisk.mac.com/christian.hansen/Public/perl/serialize.pl>

JSON.pm comes with dozens of ways to do the same thing and lots of
options, while JSON::Syck doesn't. There's only C<Load> and C<Dump>.

Oh, and JSON::Syck doesn't use camelCase method names :-)

=head1 REFERENCES

=head2 SCALAR REFERENCE

For now, when you pass a scalar reference to JSON::Syck, it
dereferences to get the actual scalar value.

JSON::Syck raises an exception when you pass in circular references.

If you want to serialize self referencing stuff, you should use
YAML which supports it.

=head2 SUBROUTINE REFERENCE

When you pass subroutine reference, JSON::Syck dumps it as null.

=head1 UTF-8 FLAGS

By default this module doesn't touch any of utf-8 flags set in
strings, and assumes UTF-8 bytes to be passed and emit.

However, when you set C<$JSON::Syck::ImplicitUnicode> to 1, this
module properly decodes UTF-8 binaries and sets UTF-8 flag everywhere,
as in:

  JSON (UTF-8 bytes)   => Perl (UTF-8 flagged)
  JSON (UTF-8 flagged) => Perl (UTF-8 flagged)
  Perl (UTF-8 bytes)   => JSON (UTF-8 flagged)
  Perl (UTF-8 flagged) => JSON (UTF-8 flagged)

By default, JSON::Syck::Dump will only transverse up to 512 levels of
a datastructure in order to avoid an infinite loop when it is
presented with an circular reference.

However, you set C<$JSON::Syck::MaxLevels> to a larger value if you
have very complex structures.

Unfortunately, there's no implicit way to dump Perl UTF-8 flagged data
structure to utf-8 encoded JSON. To do this, simply use Encode module, e.g.:

  use Encode;
  use JSON::Syck qw(Dump);

  my $json = encode_utf8( Dump($data) );

Alternatively you can use Encode::JavaScript::UCS to encode Unicode
strings as in I<%uXXXX> form.

  use Encode;
  use Encode::JavaScript::UCS;
  use JSON::Syck qw(Dump);

  my $json_unicode_escaped = encode( 'JavaScript-UCS', Dump($data) );

=head1 QUOTING

According to the JSON specification, all JSON strings are to be double-quoted.
However, when embedding JavaScript in HTML attributes, it may be more
convenient to use single quotes.

Set C<$JSON::Syck::SingleQuote> to 1 will make both C<Dump> and C<Load> expect
single-quoted string literals.

=head1 BUGS

Dumping into tied (or other magic variables) with C<DumpInto> might not work
properly in all cases.

When dumping with C<DumpFile>, some spacing might be wrong and
C<$JSON::Syck::SingleQuote> might be handled incorrectly.
