=head1 NAME

JSON::Decode::Regexp - JSON parser as a single Perl Regex

=head1 VERSION

This document describes version 0.101 of JSON::Decode::Regexp (from Perl distribution JSON-Decode-Regexp), released on 2018-03-25.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 use JSON::Decode::Regexp qw(from_json);
 my $data = from_json(q([1, true, "a", {"b":null}]));

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module is a packaging of Randal L. Schwartz' code (with some modification)
originally posted at:

 http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=995856

The code is licensed "just like Perl".

=head1 FUNCTIONS

=head2 from_json($str) => DATA

Decode JSON in C<$str>. Dies on error.

=head1 FAQ

=head2 How does this module compare to other JSON modules on CPAN?

As of version 0.04, performance-wise this module quite on par with L<JSON::PP>
(faster on strings and longer arrays/objects, slower on simpler JSON) and a bit
slower than L<JSON::Tiny>. And of course all three are much slower than XS-based
modules like L<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
L<JSON::XS> or L<Cpanel::JSON::XS> if you can use XS modules, or L<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.
