What is JSON handling (Cpanel::JSON::XS, JSON::MaybeXS) in Perl?

JSON handling in Perl involves using specific modules to encode and decode JSON data. Two popular modules for this purpose are Cpanel::JSON::XS and JSON::MaybeXS. These modules provide efficient ways to serialize Perl data structures to JSON format and vice versa, making it easier to work with web APIs and data interchange formats.

This page provides an overview of JSON handling in Perl using Cpanel::JSON::XS and JSON::MaybeXS with practical examples.

Here's a simple example of using Cpanel::JSON::XS:

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Cpanel::JSON::XS; my $json = Cpanel::JSON::XS->new; # Perl data structure my $data = { name => "John Doe", age => 30, city => "New York" }; # Encode Perl data structure to JSON my $json_text = $json->encode($data); print "Encoded JSON: $json_text\n"; # Decode JSON back to Perl data structure my $decoded_data = $json->decode($json_text); print "Decoded Perl Data: ", $decoded_data->{name}, "\n";
