# Example Perl code to test JSON handling with Cpanel::JSON::XS use strict; use warnings; use Cpanel::JSON::XS; use Test::More; my $json = Cpanel::JSON::XS->new->pretty; sub encode_json { my ($data) = @_; return $json->encode($data); } sub decode_json { my ($json_str) = @_; return $json->decode($json_str); } # Test encode_json function my $data = { key1 => 'value1', key2 => 'value2' }; my $json_string = encode_json($data); is($json_string, '{"key1":"value1","key2":"value2"}', 'encode_json works correctly'); # Test decode_json function my $decoded_data = decode_json($json_string); is_deeply($decoded_data, $data, 'decode_json works correctly'); done_testing();
