NAME

JSON::UnblessObject - unbless object using JSON spec like Cpanel::JSON::XS::Type

SYNOPSIS

use JSON::UnblessObject qw(unbless_object);

use Cpanel::JSON::XS::Type;

package SomeEntity {
    sub new {
        my ($class, %args) = @_;
        return bless \%args, $class
    }
    sub a { shift->{a} }
    sub b { shift->{b} }
}

my $entity = SomeEntity->new(a => 123, b => 'HELLO');

unbless_object($entity, { a => JSON_TYPE_INT });
# => { a => 123 }

unbless_object($entity, { b => JSON_TYPE_STRING });
# => { b => 'HELLO' }

unbless_object($entity, { a => JSON_TYPE_INT, b => JSON_TYPE_STRING });
# => { a => 123, b => 'HELLO' }

DESCRIPTION

JSON::UnblessObject is designed to assist with JSON encode. For example, an blessed object can be encoded using JSON spec:

my $json = Cpanel::JSON::XS->new->canonical;
sub encode_json {
    my ($data, $spec) = @_;

    $data = unbless_object($data, $spec) if blessed $data;
    $json->encode($data, $spec)
}

encode_json($entity, { a => JSON_TYPE_INT });
# => {"a":123}

encode_json($entity, { b => JSON_TYPE_STRING });
# => {"b":"HELLO"}

encode_json($entity, { a => JSON_TYPE_INT, b => JSON_TYPE_STRING }),
# => {"a":123,"b":"HELLO"}
