This is the README for JSON::Create version 0.22.

JSON::Create is a "module" for the Perl computer programming language, a
library of computer code to install on a computer.  This document contains four
sections:

1. About - what the module does

2. Documentation - how to learn more about the module

3. Installation - how to install this module on a computer

4. Help - what to do if you get stuck

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. ABOUT

JSON::Create - fast, minimal, UTF-8-only serialization of data to JSON

JSON::Create encodes Perl variables into the JSON format. It offers
"create_json", which uses common defaults, "create_json_strict",
which accepts only unambiguous inputs, and a customizable object
created with "new" and run with "run" where the user can specify a
variety of behaviours.

JSON::Create aims to provide fast and minimal serialization of data
types. It handles no string encoding except UTF-8. The module supports
serialization of objects and other non-data types via user-defined
callbacks.

Errors in processing result in a warning and an undefined return
value. This behaviour can be altered with the method "fatal_errors".

This module documentation is generated from machine readable code. All
of the example programs in this documentation may be found in the
directory "examples/" in the distribution. All of the example outputs
displayed were generated by running the example programs.

This module is a companion to "JSON::Parse" for parsing JSON into
Perl.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. DOCUMENTATION

You can read the documentation for the module online at the following websites:

    * http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?JSON::Create
    * http://metacpan.org/release/JSON-Create

(These links go to the latest version of the module.)

After installing the module, you can read the documentation on your computer
using

    perldoc JSON::Create

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. INSTALLATION

This module requires Perl version 5.6.1 or later.

To install the module from CPAN, use

    cpan JSON::Create

If you have the App::cpanminus installer, you may prefer

    cpanm JSON::Create

To install the module from the source file, JSON-Create-0.22.tar.gz, follow
this sequence of commands:

    tar xfz JSON-Create-0.22.tar.gz
    cd JSON-Create-0.22
    perl Makefile.PL
    make
    make install

If you want to test the module before installing it, use "make test" after
"make" and before "make install".
