Kernel::System::JSON - the JSON wrapper lib

=head1 SYNOPSIS

Functions for encoding perl data structures to JSON.

=head1 PUBLIC INTERFACE

=over 4

=cut

=item new()

create a JSON object

    use Kernel::Config;
    use Kernel::System::Encode;
    use Kernel::System::Log;
    use Kernel::System::JSON;

    my $ConfigObject = Kernel::Config->new();
    my $EncodeObject = Kernel::System::Encode->new(
        ConfigObject => $ConfigObject,
    );
    my $LogObject = Kernel::System::Log->new(
        ConfigObject => $ConfigObject,
        EncodeObject => $EncodeObject,
    );

    my $JSONObject = Kernel::System::JSON->new(
        ConfigObject => $ConfigObject,
        EncodeObject => $EncodeObject,
        LogObject    => $LogObject,
    );

=cut

sub new {
    my ( $Type, %Param ) = @_;

    # allocate new hash for object
    my $Self = {};
    bless( $Self, $Type );

    # check needed objects
    for my $Object (qw(ConfigObject EncodeObject LogObject)) {
        $Self->{$Object} = $Param{$Object} || die "Got no $Object!";
    }

    # create additional objects
    $Self->{JSONObject} = JSON->new();
    $Self->{JSONObject}->allow_nonref(1);

    return $Self;
}

=item Encode()

Encode a perl data structure to a JSON string.

    my $JSONString = $JSONObject->Encode(
        Data     => $Data,
        SortKeys => 1,    (optional) (0|1) default 0, to sort the keys of the json data
    );

=cut

sub Encode {
    my ( $Self, %Param ) = @_;

    # check for needed data
    if ( !defined $Param{Data} ) {
        $Self->{LogObject}->Log(
            Priority => 'error',
            Message  => 'Need Data!',
        );
        return;
    }

    # sort the keys of the JSON data
    if ( $Param{SortKeys} ) {
        $Self->{JSONObject}->canonical( [1] );
    }

    # get JSON-encoded presentation of perl structure
    my $JSONEncoded = $Self->{JSONObject}->encode( $Param{Data} ) || '""';

    return $JSONEncoded;
}

=item Decode()

Decode a JSON string to a perl data structure.

    my $PerlStructurScalar = $JSONObject->Decode(
        Data => $JSONString,
    );

=cut

sub Decode {
    my ( $Self, %Param ) = @_;

    # check for needed data
    return if !defined $Param{Data};

    # decode JSON encoded to perl structure
    my $Scalar = $Self->{JSONObject}->decode( $Param{Data} );

    return $Scalar;
}

=item True()

returns a constant that can be mapped to a boolean true value
in JSON rather than a string with "true".

    my $TrueConstant = $JSONObject->True();

    my $TrueJS = $JSONObject->Encode(
        Data => $TrueConstant,
    );

This will return the string 'true'.
If you pass the perl string 'true' to JSON, it will return '"true"'
as a JavaScript string instead.

=cut

sub True {
    return JSON::true();
}

=item False()

like C<True()>, but for a false boolean value.

=cut

sub False {
    return JSON::false();
}
