MARC::Record::MiJ - Convert MARC::Record to/from marc-in-json structure

Version 0.04

  use MARC::Record;
  use MARC::Record::MIJ
  my $str = get_marc_in_json_from_somewhere;
  # The most common use will be to use methods monkeypatched into MARC::Record
  my $r = MARC::Record->new_from_mij($str);
  my $json = $r->to_mij;
  # You can also work with the underlying hash/array structure if you're dealing with
  # json serialization/deserialization on your own
  my $mij_structure = $r->to_mij_structure;
  my $r = MARC::Record->new_from_mij_structure($mij_structure);
  # You can also call things on MARC::Record::MiJ
  my $r = MARC::Record::MiJ->new($str);
  my $json = MARC::Record::MiJ->to_mij($r);
  my $mij_structure = MARC::Record::MiJ->to_mij_structure($r);
  my $r = MARC::Record::MiJ->new_from_mij_structure($mij_structure);

Reads and writes MARC-in-JSON structures and strings as supported by pymarc/ruby-marc/marc4j and described at http://dilettantes.code4lib.org/blog/2010/09/a-proposal-to-serialize-marc-in-json/

Don't confuse with another (incompatible) JSON encoding in the module "MARC::File::JSON", which to the best of my knowledge isn't supported by other readers/writers.

For reading, you probably don't need to use this directly; take a look at "MARC::File::MiJ" for reading in newline-delimited marc-in-json files by itself or in conjunction with "MARC::Batch".

The MARC::Record distribution doesn't so much do do writing out files. You can do something like this:

    # convert file from marc binary to marc-in-json
    use MARC::Batch;
    use MARC::Record::MiJ;
    my $batch = MARC::Batch->new('USMARC', 'file.mrc');
    open(my $jsonfile, '>', 'file.ndj' );
    while (my $r = $batch->next) {
      print $jsonfile MARC::Record::MiJ->to_mij($r), "\n";
    }
    close $jsonfile;

...to produce newline-delimited marc-in-json from a binary file.

Get a json object to work with (memoized). We want to control it so we make sure it's not doing anything pretty (like, say, putting newlines in, which woudl make it harder to produce newline-delimited json file).

Take a JSON string and turn it into a MARC::Record object

Take a record; return a JSON string

Turn a record into a marc-in-json compatible hash; return the hash pointer

Turn a MARC::Record controlfield into an appropriate hash

Turn a MARC::Record valuefield into an appropriate hash

Turn a MARC::Record subfield pair (arrayref duple of code/value) into an appropriate hash

Given a marc-in-json structure, return a MARC::Record object

Given a field structure, create an appropriate (control or variable) field

Support for new_field_from_mij_structure; do the more complex work of creating a datafield

Add "new_from_mij_structure($mij_structure)" and "to_mij_structure()" to MARC::Record

  my $r = MARC::Record->new_from_mij_structure($mij_structure);
  $mij_structure = $r->to_mij_structure;
