=head1 NAME

Dancer2::Serializer::JSON - Serializer for handling JSON data

=head1 VERSION

version 1.1.0

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is a serializer engine that allows you to turn Perl data structures into
JSON output and vice-versa.

=head1 ATTRIBUTES

=head2 content_type

Returns 'application/json'

=head1 METHODS

=head2 serialize($content)

Serializes a Perl data structure into a JSON string.

=head2 deserialize($content)

Deserializes a JSON string into a Perl data structure.

=head1 FUNCTIONS

=head2 from_json($content, \%options)

This is an helper available to transform a JSON data structure to a Perl data structures.

=head2 to_json($content, \%options)

This is an helper available to transform a Perl data structure to JSON.

Calling this function will B<not> trigger the serialization's hooks.

=head2 Configuring the JSON Serializer using C<set engines>

The JSON serializer options can be configured via C<set engines>. The most
common settings are:

=over 4

=item allow_nonref

Ignore non-ref scalars returned from handlers. With this set the "Hello, World!"
handler returning a string will be dealt with properly.

=back

Set engines should be called prior to setting JSON as the serializer:

 set engines =>
 {
     serializer =>
     {
         JSON =>
         {
            allow_nonref => 1
         },
     }
 };

 set serializer      => 'JSON';
 set content_type    => 'application/json';

=head2 Returning non-JSON data.

Handlers can return non-JSON via C<send_as>, which overrides the default serializer:

 get '/' =>
 sub
 {
     send_as html =>
     q{Welcome to the root of all evil...<br>step into my office.}
 };

Any other non-JSON returned format supported by 'send_as' can be used.
