 =head1 VERSION
 
     2.27200
 
 L<JSON::XS> 2.27 (~2.30) compatible.
 
 =head1 DESCRIPTION
 
 This module is L<JSON::XS> compatible pure Perl module.
 (Perl 5.8 or later is recommended)
 
 JSON::XS is the fastest and most proper JSON module on CPAN.
 It is written by Marc Lehmann in C, so must be compiled and
 installed in the used environment.
 
 JSON::PP is a pure-Perl module and has compatibility to JSON::XS.
 
 
 =head2 FEATURES
 
 =over
 
 =item * correct unicode handling
 
 This module knows how to handle Unicode (depending on Perl version).
 
 See to L<JSON::XS/A FEW NOTES ON UNICODE AND PERL> and L<UNICODE HANDLING ON PERLS>.
 
 
 =item * round-trip integrity
 
 When you serialise a perl data structure using only data types supported
 by JSON and Perl, 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 I<are> minor exceptions to this, read the
 MAPPING section below to learn about those.
 
 
 =item * strict checking of JSON correctness
 
 There is no guessing, no generating of illegal JSON texts by default,
 and only JSON is accepted as input by default (the latter is a security feature).
 But when some options are set, loose chcking features are available.
 
 =back
 
 =head1 FUNCTIONAL INTERFACE
 
 Some documents are copied and modified from L<JSON::XS/FUNCTIONAL INTERFACE>.
 
 =head2 encode_json
 
     $json_text = encode_json $perl_scalar
 
 Converts the given Perl data structure to a UTF-8 encoded, binary string.
 
 This function call is functionally identical to:
 
     $json_text = JSON::PP->new->utf8->encode($perl_scalar)
 
 =head2 decode_json
 
     $perl_scalar = decode_json $json_text
 
 The opposite of C<encode_json>: expects an UTF-8 (binary) string and tries
 to parse that as an UTF-8 encoded JSON text, returning the resulting
 reference.
 
 This function call is functionally identical to:
 
     $perl_scalar = JSON::PP->new->utf8->decode($json_text)
 
 =head2 JSON::PP::is_bool
 
     $is_boolean = JSON::PP::is_bool($scalar)
 
 Returns true if the passed scalar represents either JSON::PP::true or
 JSON::PP::false, two constants that act like C<1> and C<0> respectively
 and are also used to represent JSON C<true> and C<false> in Perl strings.
 
 =head2 JSON::PP::true
 
 Returns JSON true value which is blessed object.
 It C<isa> JSON::PP::Boolean object.
 
 =head2 JSON::PP::false
 
 Returns JSON false value which is blessed object.
 It C<isa> JSON::PP::Boolean object.
 
 =head2 JSON::PP::null
 
 Returns C<undef>.
 
 See L<MAPPING>, below, for more information on how JSON values are mapped to
 Perl.
 
 
 =head1 HOW DO I DECODE A DATA FROM OUTER AND ENCODE TO OUTER
 
 This section supposes that your perl vresion is 5.8 or later.
 
 If you know a JSON text from an outer world - a network, a file content, and so on,
 is encoded in UTF-8, you should use C<decode_json> or C<JSON> module object
 with C<utf8> enable. And the decoded result will contain UNICODE characters.
 
   # from network
   my $json        = JSON::PP->new->utf8;
   my $json_text   = CGI->new->param( 'json_data' );
   my $perl_scalar = $json->decode( $json_text );
   
   # from file content
   local $/;
   open( my $fh, '<', 'json.data' );
   $json_text   = <$fh>;
   $perl_scalar = decode_json( $json_text );
 
 If an outer data is not encoded in UTF-8, firstly you should C<decode> it.
 
   use Encode;
   local $/;
   open( my $fh, '<', 'json.data' );
   my $encoding = 'cp932';
   my $unicode_json_text = decode( $encoding, <$fh> ); # UNICODE
   
   # or you can write the below code.
   #
   # open( my $fh, "<:encoding($encoding)", 'json.data' );
   # $unicode_json_text = <$fh>;
 
 In this case, C<$unicode_json_text> is of course UNICODE string.
 So you B<cannot> use C<decode_json> nor C<JSON> module object with C<utf8> enable.
 Instead of them, you use C<JSON> module object with C<utf8> disable.
 
   $perl_scalar = $json->utf8(0)->decode( $unicode_json_text );
 
 Or C<encode 'utf8'> and C<decode_json>:
 
   $perl_scalar = decode_json( encode( 'utf8', $unicode_json_text ) );
   # this way is not efficient.
 
 And now, you want to convert your C<$perl_scalar> into JSON data and
 send it to an outer world - a network or a file content, and so on.
 
 Your data usually contains UNICODE strings and you want the converted data to be encoded
 in UTF-8, you should use C<encode_json> or C<JSON> module object with C<utf8> enable.
 
   print encode_json( $perl_scalar ); # to a network? file? or display?
   # or
   print $json->utf8->encode( $perl_scalar );
 
 If C<$perl_scalar> does not contain UNICODE but C<$encoding>-encoded strings
 for some reason, then its characters are regarded as B<latin1> for perl
 (because it does not concern with your $encoding).
 You B<cannot> use C<encode_json> nor C<JSON> module object with C<utf8> enable.
 Instead of them, you use C<JSON> module object with C<utf8> disable.
 Note that the resulted text is a UNICODE string but no problem to print it.
 
   # $perl_scalar contains $encoding encoded string values
   $unicode_json_text = $json->utf8(0)->encode( $perl_scalar );
   # $unicode_json_text consists of characters less than 0x100
   print $unicode_json_text;
 
 Or C<decode $encoding> all string values and C<encode_json>:
 
   $perl_scalar->{ foo } = decode( $encoding, $perl_scalar->{ foo } );
   # ... do it to each string values, then encode_json
   $json_text = encode_json( $perl_scalar );
 
 This method is a proper way but probably not efficient.
 
 See to L<Encode>, L<perluniintro>.
 
 
 =head1 METHODS
 
 Basically, check to L<JSON> or L<JSON::XS>.
 
 =head2 new
 
     $json = JSON::PP->new
 
 Rturns a new JSON::PP object that can be used to de/encode JSON
 strings.
 
 All boolean flags described below are by default I<disabled>.
 
 The mutators for flags all return the JSON object again and thus calls can
 be chained:
 
    my $json = JSON::PP->new->utf8->space_after->encode({a => [1,2]})
    => {"a": [1, 2]}
 
 =head2 ascii
 
     $json = $json->ascii([$enable])
     
     $enabled = $json->get_ascii
 
 If $enable is true (or missing), then the encode method will not generate characters outside
 the code range 0..127. Any Unicode characters outside that range will be escaped using either
 a single \uXXXX or a double \uHHHH\uLLLLL escape sequence, as per RFC4627.
 (See to L<JSON::XS/OBJECT-ORIENTED INTERFACE>).
 
 In Perl 5.005, there is no character having high value (more than 255).
 See to L<UNICODE HANDLING ON PERLS>.
 
 If $enable is false, then the encode method will not escape Unicode characters unless
 required by the JSON syntax or other flags. This results in a faster and more compact format.
 
   JSON::PP->new->ascii(1)->encode([chr 0x10401])
   => ["\ud801\udc01"]
 
 =head2 latin1
 
     $json = $json->latin1([$enable])
     
     $enabled = $json->get_latin1
 
 If $enable is true (or missing), then the encode method will encode the resulting JSON
 text as latin1 (or iso-8859-1), escaping any characters outside the code range 0..255.
 
 If $enable is false, then the encode method will not escape Unicode characters
 unless required by the JSON syntax or other flags.
 
   JSON::XS->new->latin1->encode (["\x{89}\x{abc}"]
   => ["\x{89}\\u0abc"]    # (perl syntax, U+abc escaped, U+89 not)
 
 See to L<UNICODE HANDLING ON PERLS>.
 
 =head2 utf8
 
     $json = $json->utf8([$enable])
     
     $enabled = $json->get_utf8
 
 If $enable is true (or missing), then the encode method will encode the JSON result
 into UTF-8, as required by many protocols, while the decode method expects to be handled
 an UTF-8-encoded string. Please note that UTF-8-encoded strings do not contain any
 characters outside the range 0..255, they are thus useful for bytewise/binary I/O.
 
 (In Perl 5.005, any character outside the range 0..255 does not exist.
 See to L<UNICODE HANDLING ON PERLS>.)
 
 In future versions, enabling this option might enable autodetection of the UTF-16 and UTF-32
 encoding families, as described in RFC4627.
 
 If $enable is false, then the encode method will return the JSON string as a (non-encoded)
 Unicode string, while decode expects thus a Unicode string. Any decoding or encoding
 (e.g. to UTF-8 or UTF-16) needs to be done yourself, e.g. using the Encode module.
 
 Example, output UTF-16BE-encoded JSON:
 
   use Encode;
   $jsontext = encode "UTF-16BE", JSON::PP->new->encode ($object);
 
 Example, decode UTF-32LE-encoded JSON:
 
   use Encode;
   $object = JSON::PP->new->decode (decode "UTF-32LE", $jsontext);
 
 
 =head2 pretty
 
     $json = $json->pretty([$enable])
 
 This enables (or disables) all of the C<indent>, C<space_before> and
 C<space_after> flags in one call to generate the most readable
 (or most compact) form possible.
 
 Equivalent to:
 
    $json->indent->space_before->space_after
 
 =head2 indent
 
     $json = $json->indent([$enable])
     
     $enabled = $json->get_indent
 
 The default indent space length is three.
 You can use C<indent_length> to change the length.
 
 =head2 space_before
 
     $json = $json->space_before([$enable])
     
     $enabled = $json->get_space_before
 
 If C<$enable> is true (or missing), then the C<encode> method will add an extra
 optional space before the C<:> separating keys from values in JSON objects.
 
 If C<$enable> is false, then the C<encode> method will not add any extra
 space at those places.
 
 This setting has no effect when decoding JSON texts.
 
 Example, space_before enabled, space_after and indent disabled:
 
    {"key" :"value"}
 
 =head2 space_after
 
     $json = $json->space_after([$enable])
     
     $enabled = $json->get_space_after
 
 If C<$enable> is true (or missing), then the C<encode> method will add an extra
 optional space after the C<:> separating keys from values in JSON objects
 and extra whitespace after the C<,> separating key-value pairs and array
 members.
 
 If C<$enable> is false, then the C<encode> method will not add any extra
 space at those places.
 
 This setting has no effect when decoding JSON texts.
 
 Example, space_before and indent disabled, space_after enabled:
 
    {"key": "value"}
 
 =head2 relaxed
 
     $json = $json->relaxed([$enable])
     
     $enabled = $json->get_relaxed
 
 If C<$enable> is true (or missing), then C<decode> will accept some
 extensions to normal JSON syntax (see below). C<encode> will not be
 affected in anyway. I<Be aware that this option makes you accept invalid
 JSON texts as if they were valid!>. I suggest only to use this option to
 parse application-specific files written by humans (configuration files,
 resource files etc.)
 
 If C<$enable> is false (the default), then C<decode> will only accept
 valid JSON texts.
 
 Currently accepted extensions are:
 
 =over 4
 
 =item * list items can have an end-comma
 
 JSON I<separates> array elements and key-value pairs with commas. This
 can be annoying if you write JSON texts manually and want to be able to
 quickly append elements, so this extension accepts comma at the end of
 such items not just between them:
 
    [
       1,
       2, <- this comma not normally allowed
    ]
    {
       "k1": "v1",
       "k2": "v2", <- this comma not normally allowed
    }
 
 =item * shell-style '#'-comments
 
 Whenever JSON allows whitespace, shell-style comments are additionally
 allowed. They are terminated by the first carriage-return or line-feed
 character, after which more white-space and comments are allowed.
 
   [
      1, # this comment not allowed in JSON
         # neither this one...
   ]
 
 =back
 
 =head2 canonical
 
     $json = $json->canonical([$enable])
     
     $enabled = $json->get_canonical
 
 If C<$enable> is true (or missing), then the C<encode> method will output JSON objects
 by sorting their keys. This is adding a comparatively high overhead.
 
 If C<$enable> is false, then the C<encode> method will output key-value
 pairs in the order Perl stores them (which will likely change between runs
 of the same script).
 
 This option is useful if you want the same data structure to be encoded as
 the same JSON text (given the same overall settings). If it is disabled,
 the same hash might be encoded differently even if contains the same data,
 as key-value pairs have no inherent ordering in Perl.
 
 This setting has no effect when decoding JSON texts.
 
 If you want your own sorting routine, you can give a code referece
 or a subroutine name to C<sort_by>. See to C<JSON::PP OWN METHODS>.
 
 =head2 allow_nonref
 
     $json = $json->allow_nonref([$enable])
     
     $enabled = $json->get_allow_nonref
 
 If C<$enable> is true (or missing), then the C<encode> method can convert a
 non-reference into its corresponding string, number or null JSON value,
 which is an extension to RFC4627. Likewise, C<decode> will accept those JSON
 values instead of croaking.
 
 If C<$enable> is false, then the C<encode> method will croak if it isn't
 passed an arrayref or hashref, as JSON texts must either be an object
 or array. Likewise, C<decode> will croak if given something that is not a
 JSON object or array.
 
    JSON::PP->new->allow_nonref->encode ("Hello, World!")
    => "Hello, World!"
 
 =head2 allow_unknown
 
     $json = $json->allow_unknown ([$enable])
     
     $enabled = $json->get_allow_unknown
 
 If $enable is true (or missing), then "encode" will *not* throw an
 exception when it encounters values it cannot represent in JSON (for
 example, filehandles) but instead will encode a JSON "null" value.
 Note that blessed objects are not included here and are handled
 separately by c<allow_nonref>.
 
 If $enable is false (the default), then "encode" will throw an
 exception when it encounters anything it cannot encode as JSON.
 
 This option does not affect "decode" in any way, and it is
 recommended to leave it off unless you know your communications
 partner.
 
 =head2 allow_blessed
 
     $json = $json->allow_blessed([$enable])
     
     $enabled = $json->get_allow_blessed
 
 If C<$enable> is true (or missing), then the C<encode> method will not
 barf when it encounters a blessed reference. Instead, the value of the
 B<convert_blessed> option will decide whether C<null> (C<convert_blessed>
 disabled or no C<TO_JSON> method found) or a representation of the
 object (C<convert_blessed> enabled and C<TO_JSON> method found) is being
 encoded. Has no effect on C<decode>.
 
 If C<$enable> is false (the default), then C<encode> will throw an
 exception when it encounters a blessed object.
 
 =head2 convert_blessed
 
     $json = $json->convert_blessed([$enable])
     
     $enabled = $json->get_convert_blessed
 
 If C<$enable> is true (or missing), then C<encode>, upon encountering a
 blessed object, will check for the availability of the C<TO_JSON> method
 on the object's class. If found, it will be called in scalar context
 and the resulting scalar will be encoded instead of the object. If no
 C<TO_JSON> method is found, the value of C<allow_blessed> will decide what
 to do.
 
 The C<TO_JSON> method may safely call die if it wants. If C<TO_JSON>
 returns other blessed objects, those will be handled in the same
 way. C<TO_JSON> must take care of not causing an endless recursion cycle
 (== crash) in this case. The name of C<TO_JSON> was chosen because other
 methods called by the Perl core (== not by the user of the object) are
 usually in upper case letters and to avoid collisions with the C<to_json>
 function or method.
 
 This setting does not yet influence C<decode> in any way.
 
 If C<$enable> is false, then the C<allow_blessed> setting will decide what
 to do when a blessed object is found.
 
 =head2 filter_json_object
 
     $json = $json->filter_json_object([$coderef])
 
 When C<$coderef> is specified, it will be called from C<decode> each
 time it decodes a JSON object. The only argument passed to the coderef
 is a reference to the newly-created hash. If the code references returns
 a single scalar (which need not be a reference), this value
 (i.e. a copy of that scalar to avoid aliasing) is inserted into the
 deserialised data structure. If it returns an empty list
 (NOTE: I<not> C<undef>, which is a valid scalar), the original deserialised
 hash will be inserted. This setting can slow down decoding considerably.
 
 When C<$coderef> is omitted or undefined, any existing callback will
 be removed and C<decode> will not change the deserialised hash in any
 way.
 
 Example, convert all JSON objects into the integer 5:
 
    my $js = JSON::PP->new->filter_json_object (sub { 5 });
    # returns [5]
    $js->decode ('[{}]'); # the given subroutine takes a hash reference.
    # throw an exception because allow_nonref is not enabled
    # so a lone 5 is not allowed.
    $js->decode ('{"a":1, "b":2}');
 
 =head2 filter_json_single_key_object
 
     $json = $json->filter_json_single_key_object($key [=> $coderef])
 
 Works remotely similar to C<filter_json_object>, but is only called for
 JSON objects having a single key named C<$key>.
 
 This C<$coderef> is called before the one specified via
 C<filter_json_object>, if any. It gets passed the single value in the JSON
 object. If it returns a single value, it will be inserted into the data
 structure. If it returns nothing (not even C<undef> but the empty list),
 the callback from C<filter_json_object> will be called next, as if no
 single-key callback were specified.
 
 If C<$coderef> is omitted or undefined, the corresponding callback will be
 disabled. There can only ever be one callback for a given key.
 
 As this callback gets called less often then the C<filter_json_object>
 one, decoding speed will not usually suffer as much. Therefore, single-key
 objects make excellent targets to serialise Perl objects into, especially
 as single-key JSON objects are as close to the type-tagged value concept
 as JSON gets (it's basically an ID/VALUE tuple). Of course, JSON does not
 support this in any way, so you need to make sure your data never looks
 like a serialised Perl hash.
 
 Typical names for the single object key are C<__class_whatever__>, or
 C<$__dollars_are_rarely_used__$> or C<}ugly_brace_placement>, or even
 things like C<__class_md5sum(classname)__>, to reduce the risk of clashing
 with real hashes.
 
 Example, decode JSON objects of the form C<< { "__widget__" => <id> } >>
 into the corresponding C<< $WIDGET{<id>} >> object:
 
    # return whatever is in $WIDGET{5}:
    JSON::PP
       ->new
       ->filter_json_single_key_object (__widget__ => sub {
             $WIDGET{ $_[0] }
          })
       ->decode ('{"__widget__": 5')
 
    # this can be used with a TO_JSON method in some "widget" class
    # for serialisation to json:
    sub WidgetBase::TO_JSON {
       my ($self) = @_;
 
       unless ($self->{id}) {
          $self->{id} = ..get..some..id..;
          $WIDGET{$self->{id}} = $self;
       }
 
       { __widget__ => $self->{id} }
    }
 
 =head2 shrink
 
     $json = $json->shrink([$enable])
     
     $enabled = $json->get_shrink
 
 In JSON::XS, this flag resizes strings generated by either
 C<encode> or C<decode> to their minimum size possible.
 It will also try to downgrade any strings to octet-form if possible.
 
 In JSON::PP, it is noop about resizing strings but tries
 C<utf8::downgrade> to the returned string by C<encode>.
 See to L<utf8>.
 
 See to L<JSON::XS/OBJECT-ORIENTED INTERFACE>
 
 =head2 max_depth
 
     $json = $json->max_depth([$maximum_nesting_depth])
     
     $max_depth = $json->get_max_depth
 
 Sets the maximum nesting level (default C<512>) accepted while encoding
 or decoding. If a higher nesting level is detected in JSON text or a Perl
 data structure, then the encoder and decoder will stop and croak at that
 point.
 
 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.
 
 If no argument is given, the highest possible setting will be used, which
 is rarely useful.
 
 See L<JSON::XS/SSECURITY CONSIDERATIONS> for more info on why this is useful.
 
 When a large value (100 or more) was set and it de/encodes a deep nested object/text,
 it may raise a warning 'Deep recursion on subroutin' at the perl runtime phase.
 
 =head2 max_size
 
     $json = $json->max_size([$maximum_string_size])
     
     $max_size = $json->get_max_size
 
 Set the maximum length a JSON text may have (in bytes) where decoding is
 being attempted. The default is C<0>, meaning no limit. When C<decode>
 is called on a string that is longer then this many bytes, it will not
 attempt to decode the string but throw an exception. This setting has no
 effect on C<encode> (yet).
 
 If no argument is given, the limit check will be deactivated (same as when
 C<0> is specified).
 
 See L<JSON::XS/SSECURITY CONSIDERATIONS> for more info on why this is useful.
 
 =head2 encode
 
     $json_text = $json->encode($perl_scalar)
 
 Converts the given Perl data structure (a simple scalar or a reference
 to a hash or array) to its JSON representation. Simple scalars will be
 converted into JSON string or number sequences, while references to arrays
 become JSON arrays and references to hashes become JSON objects. Undefined
 Perl values (e.g. C<undef>) become JSON C<null> values.
 References to the integers C<0> and C<1> are converted into C<true> and C<false>.
 
 =head2 decode
 
     $perl_scalar = $json->decode($json_text)
 
 The opposite of C<encode>: expects a JSON text and tries to parse it,
 returning the resulting simple scalar or reference. Croaks on error.
 
 JSON numbers and strings become simple Perl scalars. JSON arrays become
 Perl arrayrefs and JSON objects become Perl hashrefs. C<true> becomes
 C<1> (C<JSON::true>), C<false> becomes C<0> (C<JSON::false>) and
 C<null> becomes C<undef>.
 
 =head2 decode_prefix
 
     ($perl_scalar, $characters) = $json->decode_prefix($json_text)
 
 This works like the C<decode> method, but instead of raising an exception
 when there is trailing garbage after the first JSON object, it will
 silently stop parsing there and return the number of characters consumed
 so far.
 
    JSON->new->decode_prefix ("[1] the tail")
    => ([], 3)
 
 =head1 INCREMENTAL PARSING
 
 Most of this section are copied and modified from L<JSON::XS/INCREMENTAL PARSING>.
 
 In some cases, there is the need for incremental parsing of JSON texts.
 This module does allow you to parse a JSON stream incrementally.
 It does so by accumulating text until it has a full JSON object, which
 it then can decode. This process is similar to using C<decode_prefix>
 to see if a full JSON object is available, but is much more efficient
 (and can be implemented with a minimum of method calls).
 
 This module will only attempt to parse the JSON text once it is sure it
 has enough text to get a decisive result, using a very simple but
 truly incremental parser. This means that it sometimes won't stop as
 early as the full parser, for example, it doesn't detect parenthese
 mismatches. The only thing it guarantees is that it starts decoding as
 soon as a syntactically valid JSON text has been seen. This means you need
 to set resource limits (e.g. C<max_size>) to ensure the parser will stop
 parsing in the presence if syntax errors.
 
 The following methods implement this incremental parser.
 
 =head2 incr_parse
 
     $json->incr_parse( [$string] ) # void context
     
     $obj_or_undef = $json->incr_parse( [$string] ) # scalar context
     
     @obj_or_empty = $json->incr_parse( [$string] ) # list context
 
 This is the central parsing function. It can both append new text and
 extract objects from the stream accumulated so far (both of these
 functions are optional).
 
 If C<$string> is given, then this string is appended to the already
 existing JSON fragment stored in the C<$json> object.
 
 After that, if the function is called in void context, it will simply
 return without doing anything further. This can be used to add more text
 in as many chunks as you want.
 
 If the method is called in scalar context, then it will try to extract
 exactly I<one> JSON object. If that is successful, it will return this
 object, otherwise it will return C<undef>. If there is a parse error,
 this method will croak just as C<decode> would do (one can then use
 C<incr_skip> to skip the errornous part). This is the most common way of
 using the method.
 
 And finally, in list context, it will try to extract as many objects
 from the stream as it can find and return them, or the empty list
 otherwise. For this to work, there must be no separators between the JSON
 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.
 
 Example: Parse some JSON arrays/objects in a given string and return them.
 
     my @objs = JSON->new->incr_parse ("[5][7][1,2]");
 
 =head2 incr_text
 
     $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
 all other circumstances you must not call this function (I mean it.
 although in simple tests it might actually work, it I<will> fail under
 real world conditions). As a special exception, you can also call this
 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).
 
     $json->incr_text =~ s/\s*,\s*//;
 
 In Perl 5.005, C<lvalue> attribute is not available.
 You must write codes like the below:
 
     $string = $json->incr_text;
     $string =~ s/\s*,\s*//;
     $json->incr_text( $string );
 
 =head2 incr_skip
 
     $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.
 
 =head2 incr_reset
 
     $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.
 
 See to L<JSON::XS/INCREMENTAL PARSING> for examples.
 
 
 =head1 JSON::PP OWN METHODS
 
 =head2 allow_singlequote
 
     $json = $json->allow_singlequote([$enable])
 
 If C<$enable> is true (or missing), then C<decode> will accept
 JSON strings quoted by single quotations that are invalid JSON
 format.
 
     $json->allow_singlequote->decode({"foo":'bar'});
     $json->allow_singlequote->decode({'foo':"bar"});
     $json->allow_singlequote->decode({'foo':'bar'});
 
 As same as the C<relaxed> option, this option may be used to parse
 application-specific files written by humans.
 
 
 =head2 allow_barekey
 
     $json = $json->allow_barekey([$enable])
 
 If C<$enable> is true (or missing), then C<decode> will accept
 bare keys of JSON object that are invalid JSON format.
 
 As same as the C<relaxed> option, this option may be used to parse
 application-specific files written by humans.
 
     $json->allow_barekey->decode('{foo:"bar"}');
 
 =head2 allow_bignum
 
     $json = $json->allow_bignum([$enable])
 
 If C<$enable> is true (or missing), then C<decode> will convert
 the big integer Perl cannot handle as integer into a L<Math::BigInt>
 object and convert a floating number (any) into a L<Math::BigFloat>.
 
 On the contary, C<encode> converts C<Math::BigInt> objects and C<Math::BigFloat>
 objects into JSON numbers with C<allow_blessed> enable.
 
    $json->allow_nonref->allow_blessed->allow_bignum;
    $bigfloat = $json->decode('2.000000000000000000000000001');
    print $json->encode($bigfloat);
    # => 2.000000000000000000000000001
 
 See to L<JSON::XS/MAPPING> aboout the normal conversion of JSON number.
 
 =head2 loose
 
     $json = $json->loose([$enable])
 
 The unescaped [\x00-\x1f\x22\x2f\x5c] strings are invalid in JSON strings
 and the module doesn't allow to C<decode> to these (except for \x2f).
 If C<$enable> is true (or missing), then C<decode>  will accept these
 unescaped strings.
 
     $json->loose->decode(qq|["abc
                                    def"]|);
 
 See L<JSON::XS/SSECURITY CONSIDERATIONS>.
 
 =head2 escape_slash
 
     $json = $json->escape_slash([$enable])
 
 According to JSON Grammar, I<slash> (U+002F) is escaped. But default
 JSON::PP (as same as JSON::XS) encodes strings without escaping slash.
 
 If C<$enable> is true (or missing), then C<encode> will escape slashes.
 
 =head2 indent_length
 
     $json = $json->indent_length($length)
 
 JSON::XS indent space length is 3 and cannot be changed.
 JSON::PP set the indent space length with the given $length.
 The default is 3. The acceptable range is 0 to 15.
 
 =head2 sort_by
 
     $json = $json->sort_by($function_name)
     $json = $json->sort_by($subroutine_ref)
 
 If $function_name or $subroutine_ref are set, its sort routine are used
 in encoding JSON objects.
 
    $js = $pc->sort_by(sub { $JSON::PP::a cmp $JSON::PP::b })->encode($obj);
    # is($js, q|{"a":1,"b":2,"c":3,"d":4,"e":5,"f":6,"g":7,"h":8,"i":9}|);
 
    $js = $pc->sort_by('own_sort')->encode($obj);
    # is($js, q|{"a":1,"b":2,"c":3,"d":4,"e":5,"f":6,"g":7,"h":8,"i":9}|);
 
    sub JSON::PP::own_sort { $JSON::PP::a cmp $JSON::PP::b }
 
 As the sorting routine runs in the JSON::PP scope, the given
 subroutine name and the special variables C<$a>, C<$b> will begin
 'JSON::PP::'.
 
 If $integer is set, then the effect is same as C<canonical> on.

 =head1 MAPPING
 
 This section is copied from JSON::XS and modified to C<JSON::PP>.
 JSON::XS and JSON::PP mapping mechanisms are almost equivalent.
 
 See to L<JSON::XS/MAPPING>.
 
 =head2 JSON -> PERL
 
 =over 4
 
 =item object
 
 A JSON object becomes a reference to a hash in Perl. No ordering of object
 keys is preserved (JSON does not preserver object key ordering itself).
 
 =item array
 
 A JSON array becomes a reference to an array in Perl.
 
 =item string
 
 A JSON string becomes a string scalar in Perl - Unicode codepoints in JSON
 are represented by the same codepoints in the Perl string, so no manual
 decoding is necessary.
 
 =item number
 
 A JSON number becomes either an integer, numeric (floating point) or
 string scalar in perl, depending on its range and any fractional parts. On
 the Perl level, there is no difference between those as Perl handles all
 the conversion details, but an integer may take slightly less memory and
 might represent more values exactly than floating point numbers.
 
 If the number consists of digits only, C<JSON> will try to represent
 it as an integer value. If that fails, it will try to represent it as
 a numeric (floating point) value if that is possible without loss of
 precision. Otherwise it will preserve the number as a string value (in
 which case you lose roundtripping ability, as the JSON number will be
 re-encoded toa JSON string).
 
 Numbers containing a fractional or exponential part will always be
 represented as numeric (floating point) values, possibly at a loss of
 precision (in which case you might lose perfect roundtripping ability, but
 the JSON number will still be re-encoded as a JSON number).
 
 Note that precision is not accuracy - binary floating point values cannot
 represent most decimal fractions exactly, and when converting from and to
 floating point, C<JSON> only guarantees precision up to but not including
 the leats significant bit.
 
 When C<allow_bignum> is enable, the big integers 
 and the numeric can be optionally converted into L<Math::BigInt> and
 L<Math::BigFloat> objects.
 
 =item true, false
 
 These JSON atoms become C<JSON::PP::true> and C<JSON::PP::false>,
 respectively. They are overloaded to act almost exactly like the numbers
 C<1> and C<0>. You can check wether a scalar is a JSON boolean by using
 the C<JSON::is_bool> function.
 
    print JSON::PP::true . "\n";
     => true
    print JSON::PP::true + 1;
     => 1
 
    ok(JSON::true eq  '1');
    ok(JSON::true == 1);
 
 C<JSON> will install these missing overloading features to the backend modules.
 
 
 =item null
 
 A JSON null atom becomes C<undef> in Perl.
 
 C<JSON::PP::null> returns C<unddef>.
 
 =back
 
 
 =head2 PERL -> JSON
 
 The mapping from Perl to JSON is slightly more difficult, as Perl is a
 truly typeless language, so we can only guess which JSON type is meant by
 a Perl value.
 
 =over 4
 
 =item hash references
 
 Perl hash references become JSON objects. As there is no inherent ordering
 in hash keys (or JSON objects), they will usually be encoded in a
 pseudo-random order that can change between runs of the same program but
 stays generally the same within a single run of a program. C<JSON>
 optionally sort the hash keys (determined by the I<canonical> flag), so
 the same datastructure will serialise to the same JSON text (given same
 settings and version of JSON::XS), but this incurs a runtime overhead
 and is only rarely useful, e.g. when you want to compare some JSON text
 against another for equality.
 
 
 =item array references
 
 Perl array references become JSON arrays.
 
 =item other references
 
 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::false> and C<JSON::true> to improve readability.
 
    to_json [\0,JSON::PP::true]      # yields [false,true]
 
 =item JSON::PP::true, JSON::PP::false, JSON::PP::null
 
 These special values become JSON true and JSON false values,
 respectively. You can also use C<\1> and C<\0> directly if you want.
 
 JSON::PP::null returns C<undef>.
 
 =item blessed objects
 
 Blessed objects are not directly representable in JSON. See the
 C<allow_blessed> and C<convert_blessed> methods on various options on
 how to deal with this: basically, you can choose between throwing an
 exception, encoding the reference as if it weren't blessed, or provide
 your own serialiser method.
 
 See to L<convert_blessed>.
 
 =item simple scalars
 
 Simple Perl scalars (any scalar that is not a reference) are the most
 difficult objects to encode: JSON::XS and JSON::PP will encode undefined scalars as
 JSON C<null> values, scalars that have last been used in a string context
 before encoding as JSON strings, and anything else as number value:
 
    # dump as number
    encode_json [2]                      # yields [2]
    encode_json [-3.0e17]                # yields [-3e+17]
    my $value = 5; encode_json [$value]  # yields [5]
 
    # used as string, so dump as string
    print $value;
    encode_json [$value]                 # yields ["5"]
 
    # undef becomes null
    encode_json [undef]                  # yields [null]
 
 You can force the type to be a string by stringifying it:
 
    my $x = 3.1; # some variable containing a number
    "$x";        # stringified
    $x .= "";    # another, more awkward way to stringify
    print $x;    # perl does it for you, too, quite often
 
 You can force the type to be a number by numifying it:
 
    my $x = "3"; # some variable containing a string
    $x += 0;     # numify it, ensuring it will be dumped as a number
    $x *= 1;     # same thing, the choise is yours.
 
 You can not currently force the type in other, less obscure, ways.
 
 Note that numerical precision has the same meaning as under Perl (so
 binary to decimal conversion follows the same rules as in Perl, which
 can differ to other languages). Also, your perl interpreter might expose
 extensions to the floating point numbers of your platform, such as
 infinities or NaN's - these cannot be represented in JSON, and it is an
 error to pass those in.
 
 =item Big Number
 
 When C<allow_bignum> is enable, 
 C<encode> converts C<Math::BigInt> objects and C<Math::BigFloat>
 objects into JSON numbers.
 
 
 =back
 
 =head1 UNICODE HANDLING ON PERLS
 
 If you do not know about Unicode on Perl well,
 please check L<JSON::XS/A FEW NOTES ON UNICODE AND PERL>.
 
 =head2 Perl 5.8 and later
 
 Perl can handle Unicode and the JSON::PP de/encode methods also work properly.
 
     $json->allow_nonref->encode(chr hex 3042);
     $json->allow_nonref->encode(chr hex 12345);
 
 Reuturns C<"\u3042"> and C<"\ud808\udf45"> respectively.
 
     $json->allow_nonref->decode('"\u3042"');
     $json->allow_nonref->decode('"\ud808\udf45"');
 
 Returns UTF-8 encoded strings with UTF8 flag, regarded as C<U+3042> and C<U+12345>.
 
 Note that the versions from Perl 5.8.0 to 5.8.2, Perl built-in C<join> was broken,
 so JSON::PP wraps the C<join> with a subroutine. Thus JSON::PP works slow in the versions.
 
 
 =head2 Perl 5.6
 
 Perl can handle Unicode and the JSON::PP de/encode methods also work.
 
 =head2 Perl 5.005
 
 Perl 5.005 is a byte sementics world -- all strings are sequences of bytes.
 That means the unicode handling is not available.
 
 In encoding,
 
     $json->allow_nonref->encode(chr hex 3042);  # hex 3042 is 12354.
     $json->allow_nonref->encode(chr hex 12345); # hex 12345 is 74565.
 
 Returns C<B> and C<E>, as C<chr> takes a value more than 255, it treats
 as C<$value % 256>, so the above codes are equivalent to :
 
     $json->allow_nonref->encode(chr 66);
     $json->allow_nonref->encode(chr 69);
 
 In decoding,
 
     $json->decode('"\u00e3\u0081\u0082"');
 
 The returned is a byte sequence C<0xE3 0x81 0x82> for UTF-8 encoded
 japanese character (C<HIRAGANA LETTER A>).
 And if it is represented in Unicode code point, C<U+3042>.
 
 Next, 
 
     $json->decode('"\u3042"');
 
 We ordinary expect the returned value is a Unicode character C<U+3042>.
 But here is 5.005 world. This is C<0xE3 0x81 0x82>.
 
     $json->decode('"\ud808\udf45"');
 
 This is not a character C<U+12345> but bytes - C<0xf0 0x92 0x8d 0x85>.
