Re^5: Making JSON::{PP,XS} not decode true/false to JSON::{PP,XS}::Boolean objects (\$)

Thanks!

Since, for a boolean type, it is reasonable to implement it as a ref to a scalar (and that is how it has been done over and over in several different JSON modules), I'd just treat a reference to a scalar as a boolean. The only change required is using reftype() or $ref =~ /SCALAR/, as ref() returning exactly "SCALAR" is already handled that way.

Version 0.35 now treats a reference to a scalar as a Boolean so that users can encode, for example `\0` and `\1` as `false` and `true`. Tests and documentation have also been updated. `$j->encode( { a => \1, b => \0 } ) # '{"a":true, "b":false}'` [download] Blessed refs work too. Dave	[reply] [d/l] [select]
