[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/timo/json_fast.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/timo/json_fast) JSON::Fast ========== a naive imperative json parser in pure perl6 (but with direct access to `nqp::` ops), to evaluate performance against `JSON::Tiny`. It is a drop-in replacement for `JSON::Tiny`'s from-json and to-json subs, but it offers a few extra features. Currently it seems to be about 4x faster and uses up about a quarter of the RAM JSON::Tiny would use. This module also includes a very fast to-json function that tony-o created in tony-o/perl6-json-faster. Exported subroutines -------------------- ### to-json my $*JSON_NAN_INF_SUPPORT = 1; # allow NaN, Inf, and -Inf to be serialized. say to-json []; say to-json [], :!pretty; say to-json [], :spacing(4); Encode a Perl data structure into JSON. Takes one positional argument, which is a thing you want to encode into JSON. Takes these optional named arguments: #### pretty `Bool`. Defaults to `True`. Specifies whether the output should be "pretty", human-readable JSON. #### spacing `Int`. Defaults to `2`. Applies only when `pretty` is `True`. Controls how much spacing there is between each nested level of the output. ### from-json my $x = from-json '["foo", "bar", {"ber": "bor"}]'; say $x.perl; # outputs: $["foo", "bar", {:ber("bor")}] Takes one positional argument that is coerced into a `Str` type and represents a JSON text to decode. Returns a Perl datastructure representing that JSON.
