Description:

A module for parsing JSON. (JSON means "JavaScript Object Notation" and it
is specified in the /RFC 7159 manpage.)

JSON::Parse offers the function the /parse_json manpage, which takes a
string containing JSON, and returns an equivalent Perl structure. It also
offers validation of JSON via the /valid_json manpage, which returns true
or false depending on whether the JSON is correct or not, and the
/assert_valid_json manpage, which produces a descriptive fatal error if the
JSON is invalid. A function the /json_file_to_perl manpage reads JSON from
a file, and there is a safer version of the /parse_json manpage called the
/parse_json_safe manpage which doesn't throw exceptions.

For special cases of parsing, there are also methods the /new manpage and
the /run manpage, which create a JSON parsing object and run it on text.
See the /METHODS manpage.
