Test::JSON - Test JSON data
Version 0.11
use Test::JSON; is_valid_json $json, '... json is well formed'; is_json $json, $expected_json, '... and it matches what we expected';
JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) is a lightweight data interchange format. Test::JSON makes it easy to verify that you have built valid JSON and that it matches your expected output.
See <http://www.json.org/> for more information.
is_valid_json $json, '... json is well formed';
Test passes if the string passed is valid JSON.
is_json $json, $expected_json, '... and it matches what we expected';
Test passes if the two JSON strings are valid JSON and evaluate to the same data structure.
Test::Differences is used to provide easy diagnostics of why the JSON structures did not match. For example:
Failed test '... and identical JSON should match'
in t/10testjson.t at line 14.

Please report any bugs or feature requests to "bug-test-json@rt.cpan.org", or through the web interface at <http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=Test-JSON>. I will be notified, and then you'll automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes.
This test module uses JSON::Any and Test::Differences.
The development of this module was sponsored by Kineticode, <http://www.kineticode.com/>, the leading provider of services for the Bricolage content management system, <http://www.bricolage.cc/>.
Thanks to Makamaka Hannyaharamitu "makamaka@cpan.org" for a patch to make this work with JSON 2.0.
Thanks to Stevan Little for suggesting a switch to JSON::Any. This makes it easier for this module to work with whatever JSON module you have installed.
