#JSON::Jansson

This is a basic Perl 6 binding to libjansson: a C library for manipulating JSON data.

Still pretty rough! Feedback/issues/pull reqs welcome.

While JSON::Jansson tends to be much faster than JSON::Tiny (native libraries are cheating...), it is still a tad slower than than Perl 5's JSON::XS.

For a quick example, on a 180mb JSON blob, JSON::XS parsed it in about 4 seconds, while generating a Jansson handle (jansson-from-json($data)) took about 13 seconds.

NB: The usual disclaimers about lies and benchmarks apply -- these are an ad-hoc comparisons run off a busy laptop.

SYNOPSIS

use JSON::Jansson;
# decoding has two options
my $json-for-import = '{"foo": ["a", 42, {"bar": "deep nesting"}]}';

# 1) load into Perl 6 data structure (slower, but easier to work with)
my %object = from-json($json-for-import);

# 2) access the data via a jansson handle (faster, but might not behave
# exactly like you expect an array or hash to behave).
my $jansson-handle = jansson-from-json($json-for-import);

# encoding
my $json-for-export = to-json({foobar => [99, "lollipop"]});

TODO

don't leak memory (decref JSON pieces that are DESTROYed)
