DESCRIPTION

23       JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) is a lightweight data interchange
24       format.  Test::JSON makes it easy to verify that you have built valid
25       JSON and that it matches your expected output.
26
27       See <http://www.json.org/> for more information.

TESTS

30   is_valid_json
31        is_valid_json $json, '... json is well formed';
32
33       Test passes if the string passed is valid JSON.
34
35   is_json
36        is_json $json, $expected_json, '... and it matches what we expected';
37
38       Test passes if the two JSON strings are valid JSON and evaluate to the
39       same data structure.
40
41       Test::Differences is used to provide easy diagnostics of why the JSON
42       structures did not match.  For example:
43
44          Failed test '... and identical JSON should match'
45          in t/10testjson.t at line 14.
