=head1 NAME

Log::Message::JSON::Hash - L<Tie::IxHash(3)> wrapper supporting storing cache

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Log::Message::JSON::Hash;
  use JSON;

  tie my %hash, "Log::Message::JSON::Hash";
  # fill %hash...
  tied(%hash)->cache = encode_json(\%hash);

  # ...

  print tied(%hash)->cache;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This class is a proxy to L<Tie::IxHash(3)>. It's a valid class to tie hash to,
and above this the class adds possibility of storing a cache.

The cache is cleared on every destructive operation (storing an element,
deleting an element and clearing whole hash).

=item C<cache()>

=item C<cache($data)>

Get or set cache for this object.

Cache will be cleared on any destructive operation performed on this object.

All the rest of methods are defined to satisfy API for C<tie()> function. They
call appropriate methods of underlying L<Tie::IxHash(3)> object.
