DESCRIPTION

This plugin allows you to embed JSON strings in HTML. In the output, special characters such as < and & are escaped as \uxxxx to prevent XSS attacks.

It also provides decoding function to keep compatibility with Template::Plugin::JSON.

FEATURES

USE JSON.Escape

Any options on the USE line are passed through to the JSON object, much like "to_json" in JSON.

json vmethod

A .json vmethod converts scalars, arrays and hashes into corresponding JSON strings.

    [% json_stuct = { foo => 42, bar => [ 1, 2, 3 ] } %]
    
    <script>
        var json = [% json_struct.json %];
    </script>
    
    <span onclick="doSomething([% json_struct.json %]);">

json filter

A json filter escapes <, >, &, +, U+2028 and U+2029 as \uxxxx. In the attribute, you may just use an html filter.

    [% json_string = '{ "foo": 42, "bar": [ 1, 2, 3 ] }' %]
    
    <script>
        var json = [% json_string | json %];
    </script>
    
    <span onclick="doSomething([% json_string | html %]);">

json_decode method

A json_decode method allow you to convert from a JSON string into a corresponding data structure.

    [% SET json_struct = JSON.Escape.json_decode(json_string) %]
    [% json_struct.foo | html %]
