If I were you, I'd just use something much simpler like JSON::Tiny. And I'd file a patch request to have "my $TRUE" changed to "our $TRUE", etc.

Minimally, I've implemented this in JSON::Tiny version 0.33, uploaded to CPAN just a few minutes ago. my $TRUE... is now our $TRUE, so that users may explicitly override the return value for Booleans. The same goes for my $FALSE.

If there is sufficient call for it, I might also provide additional flexibility in _encode_value() by changing this line: return $value  ? 'true' : 'false' if $ref eq 'JSON::Tiny::_Bool'; to something like return $value  ? 'true' : 'false' if $ref eq $BOOL_CLASS; # A package global. Once we go too far down that road, however, people are going to start asking that $TRUE, $FALSE, and $BOOL_CLASS be implemented as object attributes for the JSON::Tiny object so that they can be manipulated on a per-instance basis... and that leads to becoming less '::Tiny'. ;)

For now just consider the following code:

use JSON::Tiny;
$JSON::Tiny::FALSE = 0;
$JSON::Tiny::TRUE  = 1;
my $j = JSON::Tiny->new();
# ... Booleans in JSON being decoded now return 0 and 1 instead of
#     JSON::Tiny::Bool objects

Update: Version 0.34 adds some tests and documentation on this advanced feature.
