NAME
Acme::CPANModules::JSONVariants - List of JSON variants/extensions
VERSION
This document describes version 0.001 of Acme::CPANModules::JSONVariants
(from Perl distribution Acme-CPANModules-JSONVariants), released on
2024-03-21.
DESCRIPTION
JSON is hugely popular, yet very simple. This has led to various
extensions or variants of JSON.
An overwhelmingly popular extension is comments, because JSON is used a
lot in configuration. Another popular extension is dangling (trailing)
comma.
This list catalogs the various JSON variants which have a Perl
implementation on CPAN.
JSON5. , "JSON for Humans". Allowing more
whitespaces, single-line comment (C++-style), multiline comment
(C-style), single quote for strings, hexadecimal number literal (e.g.
0x123abc), leading decimal point, trailing decimal point, positive sign
in number, trailing commas.
Perl modules: JSON5, File::Serialize::Serializer::JSON5.
1) HJSON. , Human JSON. A JSON variant that aims to
be more user-friendly by allowing comments, unquoted keys, and optional
commas. It's designed to be easier to read and write by humans.
Perl modules: (none so far).
2) JSONC. JSON with Comments.
Perl modules: (none so far).
3) CSON. CofeeScript Object Notation. JSON-like data serialization
format inspired by CoffeeScript syntax. It allows for a more concise
representation of data by leveraging CoffeeScript's features such as
significant whitespace and optional commas.
Perl modules: (none so far).
4) RJSON. Relaxed JSON. Trailing commas, comments (C-style and
C++-style), single-quoted strings as well as bare/unquoted, hash key
without value (value will default to "undef").
Perl modules: JSON::Relaxed.
5) JSON::Diffable. Basically just allowing for trailing commas.
6) JSONLines. . A more restrictive JSON format,
all JSON records must fit in one line as newline is the record
delimiter. Encoding must be UTF-8. Convention for line-oriented
processing which support JSON. E.g. for CSV replacement.
Perl moduless: JSON::Lines.
7) YAML. YAML is a superset of JSON. It allows for indentation-based
syntax and various features like references, heredocs, etc.
Perl modules: YAML, YAML::PP, among others.

FAQ
What is an Acme::CPANModules::* module?
An Acme::CPANModules::* module, like this module, contains just a list
of module names that share a common characteristics. It is a way to
categorize modules and document CPAN. See Acme::CPANModules for more
details.
What are ways to use this Acme::CPANModules module?
Aside from reading this Acme::CPANModules module's POD documentation,
you can install all the listed modules (entries) using cpanm-cpanmodules
script (from App::cpanm::cpanmodules distribution):
% cpanm-cpanmodules -n JSONVariants
Alternatively you can use the cpanmodules CLI (from App::cpanmodules
distribution):
% cpanmodules ls-entries JSONVariants | cpanm -n
or Acme::CM::Get:
% perl -MAcme::CM::Get=JSONVariants -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n
or directly:
% perl -MAcme::CPANModules::JSONVariants -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $Acme::CPANModules::JSONVariants::LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n
This Acme::CPANModules module also helps lcpan produce a more meaningful
result for "lcpan related-mods" command when it comes to finding related
modules for the modules listed in this Acme::CPANModules module. See
App::lcpan::Cmd::related_mods for more details on how "related modules"
are found.

CONTRIBUTING
To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull
requests on GitHub.
Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You
can simply modify the code, then test via:
% prove -l
If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally
on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla,
Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR,
Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two
other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps
required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
