# NAME

   JSON::ize - Use JSON easily in one-liners

# SYNOPSIS

   $ perl -MJSON::ize -le '$j=jsonize("my.json"); print $j->{thingy};'

   $ perl -MJSON::ize -le 'J("my.json"); print J->{thingy};' # short

   $ perl -MJSON::ize -le 'print J("my.json")->{thingy};' # shorter


   $ cat my.json | perl -MJSON::ize -lne 'parsej; END{ print J->{thingy}}' # another way

   $ perl -MJSON::ize -le '$j="{\"this\":\"also\",\"works\":[1,2,3]}"; print jsonize($j)->{"this"};' # also

   $ perl -MJSON::ize -e 'pretty_json(); $j=jsonize("ugly.json"); print jsonize($j);' # pretty!

   $ perl -MJSON::ize -e 'ugly_json; print J(J("indented.json"));' # strip whsp

# DESCRIPTION

JSON::ize exports a function, `jsonize()`, that will do what you mean with the argument.
If argument is a filename, it will try to read the file and decode it as JSON.
If argument is a string that looks like JSON, it will try to encode it.
If argument is a Perl hashref or arrayref, it will try to encode it.

The underlying [JSON](https://metacpan.org/pod/JSON) object is

   $JSON::ize::JOBJ

# METHODS

- jsonize($j), jsonise($j), J($j)

   Try to DWYM.
   If called without argument, return the last value returned. Use this to retrieve
   after ["parsej"](#parsej).

- parsej

   Parse a piped-in stream of json. Use jsonize() (without arg) to retrieve the object.
   (Uses ["incr\_parse" in JSON](https://metacpan.org/pod/JSON#incr_parse).)

- pretty\_json()

   Output pretty (indented) json.

- ugly\_json()

   Output json with no extra whitespace.
