-=head1 METHODS
+ ************************** CAUTION ********************************
+ * This is 'JSON module version 2' and there are many differences  *
+ * to version 1.xx                                                 *
+ * Please check your applications useing old version.              *
+ *   See to 'INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES TO OLD VERSION'                  *
+ *******************************************************************
+
+JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a simple data format.
+See to L<http://www.json.org/> and C<RFC4627>(L<http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt>).
+
+This module converts Perl data structures to JSON and vice versa using either
+L<JSON::XS> or L<JSON::PP>.
+
+JSON::XS is the fastest and most proper JSON module on CPAN which must be
+compiled and installed in your environment.
+JSON::PP is a pure-Perl module which is bundled in this distribution and
+has a strong compatibility to JSON::XS.
+
+This module try to use JSON::XS by default and fail to it, use JSON::PP instead.
+So its features completely depend on JSON::XS or JSON::PP.
+
+See to L<BACKEND MODULE DECISION>.
+
+To distinguish the module name 'JSON' and the format type JSON,
+the former is quoted by CE<lt>E<gt> (its results vary with your using media),
+and the latter is left just as it is.
+
+Module name : C<JSON>
+
+Format type : JSON

+=head2 FEATURES
+
+=over
+
+=item * correct unicode handling
+
+This module (i.e. backend modules) knows how to handle Unicode, documents
+how and when it does so, and even documents what "correct" means.
+
+Even though there are limitations, this feature is available since Perl version 5.6.
+
+JSON::XS requires Perl 5.8.2 (but works correctly in 5.8.8 or later), so in older versions
+C<JSON> sholud call JSON::PP as the backend which can be used since Perl 5.005.
+
+With Perl 5.8.x JSON::PP works, but from 5.8.0 to 5.8.2, because of a Perl side problem,
+JSON::PP works slower in the versions. And in 5.005, the Unicode handling is not available.
+See to L<JSON::PP/UNICODE HANDLING ON PERLS> for more information.
+
+See also to L<JSON::XS/A FEW NOTES ON UNICODE AND PERL>
+and L<JSON::XS/ENCODING/CODESET_FLAG_NOTES>.
+
+
+=item * round-trip integrity
+
+When you serialise a perl data structure using only data types supported by JSON,
+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 minor I<are> 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).
+
+See to L<JSON::XS/FEATURES> and L<JSON::PP/FEATURES>.
+
+=item * fast
+
+This module returns a JSON::XS object itself if avaliable.
+Compared to other JSON modules and other serialisers such as Storable,
+JSON::XS usually compares favourably in terms of speed, too.
+
+If not avaliable, C<JSON> returns a JSON::PP object instead of JSON::XS and
+it is very slow as pure-Perl.
+
+=item * simple to use
+
+This module has both a simple functional interface as well as an
+object oriented interface interface.
+
+=item * reasonably versatile output formats
+
+You can choose between the most compact guaranteed-single-line format possible
+(nice for simple line-based protocols), a pure-ASCII format (for when your transport
+is not 8-bit clean, still supports the whole Unicode range), or a pretty-printed
+format (for when you want to read that stuff). Or you can combine those features
+in whatever way you like.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 FUNCTIONAL INTERFACE
+
+Some documents are copied and modified from L<JSON::XS/FUNCTIONAL INTERFACE>.
+C<to_json> and C<from_json> are additional functions.
+
+=head2 to_json
+
+   $json_text = to_json($perl_scalar)
+
+Converts the given Perl data structure to a json string.
+
+This function call is functionally identical to:
+
+   $json_text = JSON->new->encode($perl_scalar)
+
+Takes a hash reference as the second.
+
+   $json_text = to_json($perl_scalar, $flag_hashref)
+
+So,
+
+   $json_text = encode_json($perl_scalar, {utf8 => 1, pretty => 1})
+
+equivalent to:
+
+   $json_text = JSON->new->utf8(1)->pretty(1)->encode($perl_scalar)
+
+
+=head2 from_json
+
+   $perl_scalar = from_json($json_text)
+
+The opposite of C<to_json>: expects a json string and tries
+to parse it, returning the resulting reference.
+
+This function call is functionally identical to:
+
+    $perl_scalar = JSON->decode($json_text)
+
+Takes a hash reference as the second.
+
+    $perl_scalar = from_json($json_text, $flag_hashref)
+
+So,
+
+    $perl_scalar = from_json($json_text, {utf8 => 1})
+
+equivalent to:
+
+    $perl_scalar = JSON->new->utf8(1)->decode($json_text)
+
+=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:
+
+    $json_text = JSON->new->utf8->encode($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:
+
+    $perl_scalar = JSON->new->utf8->decode($json_text)
+
+=head2 JSON::is_bool
+
+    $is_boolean = JSON::is_bool($scalar)
+
+Returns true if the passed scalar represents either JSON::true or
+JSON::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::true
+
+Returns JSON true value which is blessed object.
+It C<isa> JSON::Boolean object.
+
+=head2 JSON::false
+
+Returns JSON false value which is blessed object.
+It C<isa> JSON::Boolean object.
+
+=head2 JSON::null
+
+Returns C<undef>.
+
+See L<MAPPING>, below, for more information on how JSON values are mapped to
+Perl.
+
+=head1 COMMON OBJECT-ORIENTED INTERFACE
+
+
+=head2 new
+
+    $json = new JSON
+
+Returns a new C<JSON> object inherited from either JSON::XS or JSON::PP
+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->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.
+
+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.
+
+This feature depends on the used Perl version and environment.
+
+See to L<JSON::PP/UNICODE HANDLING ON PERLS> if the backend is PP.
+
+  JSON->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->new->latin1->encode (["\x{89}\x{abc}"]
+  => ["\x{89}\\u0abc"]    # (perl syntax, U+abc escaped, U+89 not)
+
+=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 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;
+  $jsontext = encode "UTF-16BE", JSON::XS->new->encode ($object);
+
+Example, decode UTF-32LE-encoded JSON:
+
+  use Encode;
+  $object = JSON::XS->new->decode (decode "UTF-32LE", $jsontext);
+
+See to L<JSON::PP/UNICODE HANDLING ON PERLS> if the backend is PP.
+
+
+=head2 pretty
+
+    $json = $json->pretty([$enable])
+
+This enables (or disables) all of the C<indent>, C<space_before> and
+C<space_after> (and in the future possibly more) flags in one call to
+generate the most readable (or most compact) form possible.
+
+Equivalent to:
+
+   $json->indent->space_before->space_after
+
+The indent space length is three and JSON::XS cannot change the indent
+space length.
+
+=head2 indent
+
+    $json = $json->indent([$enable])
+    
+    $enabled = $json->get_indent
+
+If C<$enable> is true (or missing), then the C<encode> method will use a multiline
+format as output, putting every array member or object/hash key-value pair
+into its own line, identing them properly.
+
+If C<$enable> is false, no newlines or indenting will be produced, and the
+resulting JSON text is guarenteed not to contain any C<newlines>.
+
+This setting has no effect when decoding JSON texts.
+
+The indent space length is three.
+With JSON::PP, you can also access C<indent_length> to change indent space 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 new()
-
-=item new( %options )
-
-returns a JSON object. The object delegates the converting and parsing process
-to L<JSON::Converter> and L<JSON::Parser>.
-
- my $json = new JSON;
-
-C<new> can take some options.
-
- my $json = new JSON (autoconv => 0, pretty => 1);
-
-Following options are supported:
+=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.
+
+=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->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.
+
+=over
+
+=item convert_blessed_universally mode
+
+If use C<JSON> with C<-convert_blessed_universally>, the C<UNIVERSAL::TO_JSON>
+subroutine is defined as the below code:
+
+   *UNIVERSAL::TO_JSON = sub {
+       my $b_obj = B::svref_2object( $_[0] );
+       return    $b_obj->isa('B::HV') ? { %{ $_[0] } }
+               : $b_obj->isa('B::AV') ? [ @{ $_[0] } ]
+               : undef
+               ;
+   }
+
+This will cause that C<encode> method converts simple blessed objects into
+JSON objects as non-blessed object.
+
+   JSON -convert_blessed_universally;
+   $json->allow_blessed->convert_blessed->encode( $blessed_object )
+
+This feature is experimental and may be removed in the future.
+
+=back
+
+=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->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
+      ->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
+
+With JSON::XS, this flag resizes strings generated by either
+C<encode> or C<decode> to their minimum size possible. This can save
+memory when your JSON texts are either very very long or you have many
+short strings. It will also try to downgrade any strings to octet-form
+if possible: perl stores strings internally either in an encoding called
+UTF-X or in octet-form. The latter cannot store everything but uses less
+space in general (and some buggy Perl or C code might even rely on that
+internal representation being used).
+
+With 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> and L<JSON::PP/METHODS>.
+
+=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.
+
+Note that nesting is implemented by recursion in C. The default value has
+been chosen to be as large as typical operating systems allow without
+crashing. (JSON::XS)
+
+With JSON::PP as the backend, 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.
+
+See L<JSON::XS/SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS> for more info on why this is useful.
+
+=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/SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS>, below, 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. Neither C<true>
+nor C<false> values will be generated.
+
+=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<false> becomes C<0> 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)
+
+See to L<JSON::XS/OBJECT-ORIENTED INTERFACE>
+
+=head2 property
+
+    $boolean = $json->property($property_name)
+
+Returns a boolean value about above some properties.
+
+The available properties are C<ascii>, C<latin1>, C<utf8>,
+C<indent>,C<space_before>, C<space_after>, C<relaxed>, C<canonical>,
+C<allow_nonref>, C<allow_unknown>, C<allow_blessed>, C<convert_blessed>,
+C<shrink>, C<max_depth> and C<max_size>.
+
+   $boolean = $json->property('utf8');
+    => 0
+   $json->utf8;
+   $boolean = $json->property('utf8');
+    => 1
+
+Sets the propery with a given boolean value.
+
+    $json = $json->property($property_name => $boolean);
+
+With no argumnt, it returns all the above properties as a hash reference.
+
+    $flag_hashref = $json->property();

+=item [void, scalar or list context] = $json->incr_parse ([$string])
+
+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.
+
+=item $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).
+
+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 );
+
+=item $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.
+
+=item $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.

+=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.

+

+
+=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).
+
+If the backend is JSON::PP and 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::true> and C<JSON::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.
+
+If C<JSON::true> and C<JSON::false> are used as strings or compared as strings,
+they represent as C<true> and C<false> respectively.
+
+   print JSON::true . "\n";
+    => true
+   print JSON::true + 1;
+    => 1
+
+   ok(JSON::true eq 'true');
+   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::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.
+
+In future, the ordered object feature will be added to JSON::PP using C<tie> mechanism.
+
+
+=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::true]      # yields [false,true]
+
+=item JSON::true, JSON::false, JSON::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::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.
+
+With C<convert_blessed_universally> mode,  C<encode> converts blessed
+hash references or blessed array references (contains other blessed references)
+into JSON members and arrays.
+
+   use JSON -convert_blessed_universally;
+   JSON->new->allow_blessed->convert_blessed->encode( $blessed_object );
+
+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.
+
+=item Big Number
+
+If the backend is JSON::PP and C<allow_bignum> is enable, 
+C<encode> converts C<Math::BigInt> objects and C<Math::BigFloat>
+objects into JSON numbers.
+
+
+=back
+
+=head1 JSON and YAML
+
+JSON is not a subset of YAML.
+See to L<JSON::XS/JSON and YAML>.
+
+
+=head1 BACKEND MODULE DECISION
+
+When you use C<JSON>, C<JSON> tries to C<use> JSON::XS. If this call failed, it will
+C<uses> JSON::PP. The required JSON::XS version is I<2.2> or later.
+
+The C<JSON> constructor method returns an object inherited from the backend module,
+and JSON::XS object is a blessed scaler reference while JSON::PP is a blessed hash
+reference.
+
+So, your program should not depend on the backend module, especially
+returned objects should not be modified.
+
+ my $json = JSON->new; # XS or PP?
+ $json->{stash} = 'this is xs object'; # this code may raise an error!
+
+To check the backend module, there are some methods - C<backend>, C<is_pp> and C<is_xs>.
+
+  JSON->backend; # 'JSON::XS' or 'JSON::PP'
+  
+  JSON->backend->is_pp: # 0 or 1
+  
+  JSON->backend->is_xs: # 1 or 0
+  
+  $json->is_xs; # 1 or 0
+  
+  $json->is_pp; # 0 or 1
+
+
+If you set an enviornment variable C<PERL_JSON_BACKEND>, The calling action will be changed.
+
+=over
+
+=item PERL_JSON_BACKEND = 0 or PERL_JSON_BACKEND = 'JSON::PP'
+
+Always use JSON::PP
+
+=item PERL_JSON_BACKEND == 1 or PERL_JSON_BACKEND = 'JSON::XS,JSON::PP'
+
+(The default) Use compiled JSON::XS if it is properly compiled & installed,
+otherwise use JSON::PP.
+
+=item PERL_JSON_BACKEND == 2 or PERL_JSON_BACKEND = 'JSON::XS'
+
+Always use compiled JSON::XS, die if it isn't properly compiled & installed.
+
+=back
+
+These ideas come from L<DBI::PurePerl> mechanism.
+
+example:
+
+ BEGIN { $ENV{PERL_JSON_BACKEND} = 'JSON::PP' }
+ use JSON; # always uses JSON::PP
+
+In future, it may be able to specify another module.
+
+=head1 USE PP FEATURES EVEN THOUGH XS BACKEND
+
+Many methods are available with either JSON::XS or JSON::PP and
+when the backend module is JSON::XS, if any JSON::PP specific (i.e. JSON::XS unspported)
+method is called, it will C<warn> and be noop.
+
+But If you C<use> C<JSON> passing the optional string C<-support_by_pp>,
+it makes a part of those unupported methods available.
+This feature is achieved by using JSON::PP in C<de/encode>.
+
+   BEING { $ENV{PERL_JSON_BACKEND} = 2 } # with JSON::XS
+   use JSON -support_by_pp;
+   my $json = new JSON;
+   $json->allow_nonref->escape_slash->encode("/");
+
+At this time, the returned object is a C<JSON::Backend::XS::Supportable>
+object (re-blessed XS object), and  by checking JSON::XS unsupported flags
+in de/encoding, can support some unsupported methods - C<loose>, C<allow_bignum>,
+C<allow_barekey>, C<allow_singlequote>, C<escape_slash>, C<as_nonblessed>
+and C<indent_length>.
+
+When any unsupported methods are not enable, C<XS de/encode> will be
+used as is. The switch is achieved by changing the symbolic tables.
+
+C<-support_by_pp> is effective only when the backend module is JSON::XS
+and it makes the de/encoding speed down a bit.
+
+See to L<JSON::PP SUPPORT METHODS>.
+
+=head1 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES TO OLD VERSION
+
+There are big incompatibility between new version (2.00) and old (1.xx).
+If you use old C<JSON> 1.xx in your code, please check it.
+
+See to L<Transition ways from 1.xx to 2.xx.>
+
+=over
+
+=item jsonToObj and objToJson are obsoleted.
+
+Non Perl-style name C<jsonToObj> and C<objToJson> are obsoleted
+(but not yet deleted from the source).
+If you use these functions in your code, please replace them
+with C<from_json> and C<to_json>.
+
+
+=item Global variables are no longer available.
+
+C<JSON> class variables - C<$JSON::AUTOCONVERT>, C<$JSON::BareKey>, etc...
+- are not avaliable any longer.
+Instead, various features can be used through object methods.
+
+
+=item Package JSON::Converter and JSON::Parser are deleted.
+
+Now C<JSON> bundles with JSON::PP which can handle JSON more properly than them.
+
+=item Package JSON::NotString is deleted.
+
+There was C<JSON::NotString> class which represents JSON value C<true>, C<false>, C<null>
+and numbers. It was deleted and replaced by C<JSON::Boolean>.
+
+C<JSON::Boolean> represents C<true> and C<false>.
+
+C<JSON::Boolean> does not represent C<null>.
+
+C<JSON::null> returns C<undef>.
+
+C<JSON> makes L<JSON::XS::Boolean> and L<JSON::PP::Boolean> is-a relation
+to L<JSON::Boolean>.
+
+=item function JSON::Number is obsoleted.
+
+C<JSON::Number> is now needless because JSON::XS and JSON::PP have
+round-trip integrity.
+
+=item JSONRPC modules are deleted.
+
+Perl implementation of JSON-RPC protocol - C<JSONRPC >, C<JSONRPC::Transport::HTTP>
+and C<Apache::JSONRPC > are deleted in this distribution.
+Instead of them, there is L<JSON::RPC> which supports JSON-RPC protocol version 1.1.
+
+=back
+
+=head2 Transition ways from 1.xx to 2.xx.
+
+You should set C<suport_by_pp> mode firstly, because
+it is always successful for the below codes even with JSON::XS.

-=head1 PRETY PRINTING
-
-If you'd like your JSON output to be pretty-printed, pass the C<pretty>
-parameter to objToJson(). You can affect the indentation (which defaults to 2)
-by passing the C<indent> parameter to objToJson().
-
-  my $str = $json->objToJson($obj, {pretty => 1, indent => 4});
-
-In addition, you can set some number to C<delimiter> option.
-The available numbers are only 0, 1 and 2.
-In pretty-printing mode, when C<delimiter> is 1, one space is added
-after ':' in object keys. If C<delimiter> is 2, it is ' : ' and
-0 is ':' (default is 2). If you give 3 or more to it, the value
-is taken as 2.
-
-
-=head1 AUTOCONVERT
-
-By default, $JSON::AUTOCONVERT is true.
-
- (Perl) {num => 10.02}
- ( => JSON) {"num" : 10.02}
-
-it is not C<{"num" : "10.02"}>.
-
-But set false value with $JSON::AUTOCONVERT:
-
- (Perl) {num => 10.02}
- ( => JSON) {"num" : "10.02"}
-
-it is not C<{"num" : 10.02}>.
-
-You can explicitly sepcify:
-
- $obj = {
-        id     => JSON::Number(10.02),
-        bool1  => JSON::True,
-        bool2  => JSON::False,
-        noval  => JSON::Null,
- };
-
- $json->objToJson($obj);
- # {"noval" : null, "bool2" : false, "bool1" : true, "id" : 10.02}
-
-C<JSON::Number()> returns C<undef> when an argument invalid format.
