NAME JSONY - Relaxed JSON with a little bit of YAML SYNOPSIS use JSONY; my $data = JSONY->new->load($jsony_string); DESCRIPTION JSONY is a data language that is simlar to JSON, just more chill. All valid JSON is also valid JSONY (and represents the same thing when loaded), but JSONY lets you omit a lot of the syntax that makes JSON a pain to write. API JSONY has one object method: "load". You pass it a JSONY string and it returns the loaded Perl data object. JSONY SYNTAX Here is some examples of JSONY followed by equivalent JSON: Words don't need quotes. A list of things is an array: foo bar baz [ "foo", "bar", "baz" ] Strings with spaces can use single or double quotes: 'foo bar' # <= This is (a comment indicating) a string # More commenting "baz boom " [ "foo bar ", "baz boom " ] Top level hashes can be ':' separated pairs or use curlies. Sub hashes require curlies. foo: { bar baz } num: -1.2e3 { "foo": { "bar": "baz" }, "num": -1.2e3 } Top level arrays can use '- ' at the start of lines. Those arrays go the end of line. Lines can be continued using a trailing comma. Sub arrays require square brackets. - array of 4 scalars - array with [ sub array { of things }] - array of 7 things on, two lines [ [ "array", "of", 4, "scalars" ], [ "array", "with", [ "sub", "array" { "of": "things" } ] ], [ "array", "of", 7, "things", "on", "two", "lines" ] ] More soon... NOTE: You may want to look at the tests (especially "t/load.t") to see the full abilities of JSONY. STATUS BEWARE!!! JSONY is mst's idea, and ingy's Pegex based implementation. The language is just a baby, and will change a lot, or may go away entirely. Development people are currently working on this in "#jsony" in irc.freenode.net. Please drop by. http://jsony.org coming soon. AUTHORS Ingy döt Net (ingy) <ingy@cpan.org> Matt S.
