=head1 DESCRIPTION
B<Parse::CPAN::Meta> is a parser for F<META.json> and F<META.yml> files, using
L<JSON::PP> and/or L<CPAN::Meta::YAML>.
B<Parse::CPAN::Meta> provides three methods: C<load_file>, C<load_json_string>,
and C<load_yaml_string>. These will read and deserialize CPAN metafiles, and
are described below in detail.
B<Parse::CPAN::Meta> provides a legacy API of only two functions,
based on the YAML functions of the same name. Wherever possible,
identical calling semantics are used. These may only be used with YAML sources.
All error reporting is done with exceptions (die'ing).
Note that META files are expected to be in UTF-8 encoding, only. When
converted string data, it must first be decoded from UTF-8.

=head1 METHODS
=head2 load_file
my $metadata_structure = Parse::CPAN::Meta->load_file('META.json');
my $metadata_structure = Parse::CPAN::Meta->load_file('META.yml');
This method will read the named file and deserialize it to a data structure,
determining whether it should be JSON or YAML based on the filename.
The file will be read using the ":utf8" IO layer.
=head2 load_yaml_string
my $metadata_structure = Parse::CPAN::Meta->load_yaml_string($yaml_string);
This method deserializes the given string of YAML and returns the first
document in it. (CPAN metadata files should always have only one document.)
If the source was UTF-8 encoded, the string must be decoded before calling
C<load_yaml_string>.
=head2 load_json_string
my $metadata_structure = Parse::CPAN::Meta->load_json_string($json_string);
This method deserializes the given string of JSON and the result.
If the source was UTF-8 encoded, the string must be decoded before calling
C<load_json_string>.
=head2 load_string
my $metadata_structure = Parse::CPAN::Meta->load_string($some_string);
If you don't know whether a string contains YAML or JSON data, this method
will use some heuristics and guess. If it can't tell, it assumes YAML.
=head2 yaml_backend
my $backend = Parse::CPAN::Meta->yaml_backend;
Returns the module name of the YAML serializer. See L</ENVIRONMENT>
for details.
=head2 json_backend
my $backend = Parse::CPAN::Meta->json_backend;
Returns the module name of the JSON serializer. If C<CPAN_META_JSON_BACKEND>
is set, this will be whatever that's set to. If not, this will either
be L<JSON::PP> or L<JSON>. If C<PERL_JSON_BACKEND> is set,
this will return L<JSON> as further delegation is handled by
the L<JSON> module. See L</ENVIRONMENT> for details.
=head2 json_decoder
my $decoder = Parse::CPAN::Meta->json_decoder;
Returns the module name of the JSON decoder. Unlike L</json_backend>, this
is not necessarily a full L<JSON>-style module, but only something that will
provide a C<decode_json> subroutine. If C<CPAN_META_JSON_DECODER> is set,
this will be whatever that's set to. If not, this will be whatever has
been selected as L</json_backend>. See L</ENVIRONMENT> for more notes.
=head1 FUNCTIONS
For maintenance clarity, no functions are exported by default. These functions
are available for backwards compatibility only and are best avoided in favor of
C<load_file>.
=head2 Load
my @yaml = Parse::CPAN::Meta::Load( $string );
Parses a string containing a valid YAML stream into a list of Perl data
structures.
=head2 LoadFile
my @yaml = Parse::CPAN::Meta::LoadFile( 'META.yml' );
Reads the YAML stream from a file instead of a string.
=head1 ENVIRONMENT
=head2 CPAN_META_JSON_DECODER
By default, L<JSON::PP> will be used for deserializing JSON data. If the
C<CPAN_META_JSON_DECODER> environment variable exists, this is expected to
be the name of a loadable module that provides a C<decode_json> subroutine,
which will then be used for deserialization. Relying only on the existence
of said subroutine allows for maximum compatibility, since this API is
provided by all of L<JSON::PP>, L<JSON::XS>, L<Cpanel::JSON::XS>,
L<JSON::MaybeXS>, L<JSON::Tiny>, and L<Mojo::JSON>.
=head2 CPAN_META_JSON_BACKEND
By default, L<JSON::PP> will be used for deserializing JSON data. If the
C<CPAN_META_JSON_BACKEND> environment variable exists, this is expected to
be the name of a loadable module that provides the L<JSON> API, since
downstream code expects to be able to call C<new> on this class. As such,
while L<JSON::PP>, L<JSON::XS>, L<Cpanel::JSON::XS> and L<JSON::MaybeXS> will
work for this, to use L<Mojo::JSON> or L<JSON::Tiny> for decoding requires
setting L</CPAN_META_JSON_DECODER>.
=head2 PERL_JSON_BACKEND
If the C<CPAN_META_JSON_BACKEND> environment variable does not exist, and if
C<PERL_JSON_BACKEND> environment variable exists, is true and is not
"JSON::PP", then the L<JSON> module (version 2.5 or greater) will be loaded and
used to interpret C<PERL_JSON_BACKEND>. If L<JSON> is not installed or is too
old, an exception will be thrown. Note that at the time of writing, the only
useful values are 1, which will tell L<JSON> to guess, or L<JSON::XS> - if
you want to use a newer JSON module, see L</CPAN_META_JSON_BACKEND>.
=head2 PERL_YAML_BACKEND
By default, L<CPAN::Meta::YAML> will be used for deserializing YAML data. If
the C<PERL_YAML_BACKEND> environment variable is defined, then it is interpreted
as a module to use for deserialization. The given module must be installed,
must load correctly and must implement the C<Load()> function or an exception
will be thrown.
