DESCRIPTION
This module is a packaging of Randal L. Schwartz' code (with some

The code is licensed "just like Perl".

FAQ
How does this module compare to other JSON modules on CPAN?
As of version 0.04, performance-wise this module quite on par with
JSON::PP (faster on strings and longer arrays/objects, slower on
simpler JSON) and a bit slower than JSON::Tiny. And of course all three
are much slower than XS-based modules like JSON::XS.
JSON::Decode::Regexp does not yet support Unicode, and does not
pinpoint exact location on parse error.
In general, I don't see a point in using it in production (I recommend
instead JSON::XS or Cpanel::JSON::XS if you can use XS modules, or
JSON::Tiny if you must use pure Perl modules). But it is a cool hack
that demonstrates the power of Perl regular expressions and beautiful
code.
