Test::JSON(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Test::JSON(3)

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';

  • is_valid_json
  • is_json

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.

Curtis "Ovid" Poe, "<ovid@cpan.org>"

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.
