NAME Acme::CPANModules::JSONVariants - List of JSON variants/extensions VERSION This document describes version 0.001 of Acme::CPANModules::JSONVariants (from Perl distribution Acme-CPANModules-JSONVariants), released on 2024-03-21. DESCRIPTION JSON is hugely popular, yet very simple. This has led to various extensions or variants of JSON. An overwhelmingly popular extension is comments, because JSON is used a lot in configuration. Another popular extension is dangling (trailing) comma. This list catalogs the various JSON variants which have a Perl implementation on CPAN. JSON5. <https://json5.org/>, "JSON for Humans". Allowing more whitespaces, single-line comment (C++-style), multiline comment (C-style), single quote for strings, hexadecimal number literal (e.g. 0x123abc), leading decimal point, trailing decimal point, positive sign in number, trailing commas. Perl modules: JSON5, File::Serialize::Serializer::JSON5. 1) HJSON. <https://hjson.org>, Human JSON. A JSON variant that aims to be more user-friendly by allowing comments, unquoted keys, and optional commas. It's designed to be easier to read and write by humans. Perl modules: (none so far). 2) JSONC. JSON with Comments. Perl modules: (none so far). 3) CSON. CofeeScript Object Notation. JSON-like data serialization format inspired by CoffeeScript syntax. It allows for a more concise representation of data by leveraging CoffeeScript's features such as significant whitespace and optional commas. Perl modules: (none so far). 4) RJSON. Relaxed JSON. Trailing commas, comments (C-style and C++-style), single-quoted strings as well as bare/unquoted, hash key without value (value will default to "undef"). Perl modules: JSON::Relaxed. 5) JSON::Diffable. Basically just allowing for trailing commas. 6) JSONLines. <https://jsonlines.org>. A more restrictive JSON format, all JSON records must fit in one line as newline is the record delimiter. Encoding must be UTF-8. Convention for line-oriented processing which support JSON. E.g. for CSV replacement. Perl moduless: JSON::Lines. 7) YAML. YAML is a superset of JSON. It allows for indentation-based syntax and various features like references, heredocs, etc. Perl modules: YAML, YAML::PP, among others.

An Acme::CPANModules::* module, like this module, contains just a list of module names that share a common characteristics. It is a way to categorize modules and document CPAN. See Acme::CPANModules for more details. What are ways to use this Acme::CPANModules module? Aside from reading this Acme::CPANModules module's POD documentation, you can install all the listed modules (entries) using cpanm-cpanmodules script (from App::cpanm::cpanmodules distribution): % cpanm-cpanmodules -n JSONVariants Alternatively you can use the cpanmodules CLI (from App::cpanmodules distribution): % cpanmodules ls-entries JSONVariants | cpanm -n or Acme::CM::Get: % perl -MAcme::CM::Get=JSONVariants -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n or directly: % perl -MAcme::CPANModules::JSONVariants -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $Acme::CPANModules::JSONVariants::LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n This Acme::CPANModules module also helps lcpan produce a more meaningful result for "lcpan related-mods" command when it comes to finding related modules for the modules listed in this Acme::CPANModules module. See App::lcpan::Cmd::related_mods for more details on how "related modules" are found. HOMEPAGE Please visit the project's homepage at <https://metacpan.org/release/Acme-CPANModules-JSONVariants>.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via: % prove -l If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me. COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is copyright (c) 2024 by perlancar <perlancar@cpan.org>.
