NAME
   JSON::Hyper - extract links from JSON via a schema

SYNOPSIS
    my $hyper = JSON::Hyper->new($hyperschema);
    my $json  = from_json( ... );
    my @links = $hyper->find_links($json->[1]->{some}->{object});
    foreach my $link (@links)
    {
      printf("<%s> (%s)", $link->{href}, $link->{rel});
    }

DESCRIPTION
   The JSON Hyper Schema proposal defines hypertext navigation through data
   structures represented by JSON.

 Constructor
   "new($hyperschema)"
       Given a JSON (or equivalent Perl nested hashref/arrayref structure)
       Hyper Schema, returns a Perl object capable of interpreting that
       schema.

       If the schema is omitted, defaults to the JSON Referencing hyper
       schema (described at <http://json-schema.org/json-ref>)

 Methods
   "schema"
       Returns the original schema as a hashref/arrayref structure.

   "ua"
       Get/set the LWP::UserAgent instance used to retrieve things.

   "find_links($object, $base)"
       Given a JSON object (or equivalent Perl nested hashref/arrayref
       structure) and optionally a base URL for interpreting relative URI
       references, returns a list of links found on object node. Does not
       operate recursively.

       Each link is a JSON::Hyper::Link object.

   "get($uri)"
       Performs an HTTP request for the given URI and returns a list of
       Perl nested hashref/arrayref structures corresponding to the JSON
       response. The URI may contain a fragment identifier, which will be
       interpreted according to the schema's fragment resolution method.
       Fragment resolution methods supported include:

       *       slash-delimited (default)

       *       dot-delimited

       *       jsonpath

       For example, assuming the hyper schema specifies slash-delimited
       fragments, the following:

        my $hyper    = JSON::Hyper->new($hyperschema);
        my ($result) = $hyper->get('http://example.com/data.json#foo/bar/0');

       Is roughly equivalent to:

        use JSON;
        use LWP::UserAgent;
        my $ua       = LWP::UserAgent->new;
        my $response = $ua->get('http://example.com/data.json');
        my $object   = from_json($response->decoded_content);
        my $result   = $object->{foo}{bar}[0];

       Note, if called multiple times on the same URL will return not just
       equivalent objects, but the same object.

       So, why does this method return a list of results instead of just a
       single result? In most cases, there will be either 0 or 1 items on
       the list; however, JSONPath allows a path to match multiple nodes,
       so there will occasionally be more than one result. (In scalar
       context, this method just returns the first result anyway.)

   "resolve_fragment($object, $fragment)"
       Used by "get" to resolve the fragment part of a URL against an
       object.

   "process_includes($object, $base, $recurse)"
       Given an JSON object (or equivalent Perl nested hashref/arrayref
       structure) and optional base URL, crawls the object finding
       rel="full" links, dereferences them using "get" and replaces the
       appropriate nodes with the retrieved content. $recurse is a boolean.

       This has the effect of rel="full" behaving like inclusion does in
       various programming languages.

       This modifies the given object rather than creating a new object.

 Utilities
   "JSON::Hyper::json_ref()"
       Returns the JSON referencing hyperschema as a hashref.
