Config::Model::Backend::Json(3) Read and write config as a JSON data structure

VERSION

version 2.087

SYNOPSIS


use Config::Model ;
use Data::Dumper ;
# define configuration tree object
my $model = Config::Model->new ;
$model ->create_config_class (
name => "MyClass",
element => [
[qw/foo bar/] => {
type => 'leaf',
value_type => 'string'
},
baz => {
type => 'hash',
index_type => 'string' ,
cargo => {
type => 'leaf',
value_type => 'string',
},
},
],
read_config => [
{ backend => 'Json' ,
config_dir => '/tmp',
file => 'foo.json',
auto_create => 1,
}
],
) ;
my $inst = $model->instance(root_class_name => 'MyClass' );
my $root = $inst->config_root ;
my $steps = 'foo=yada bar="bla bla" baz:en=hello
baz:fr=bonjour baz:hr="dobar dan"';
$root->load( steps => $steps ) ;
$inst->write_back ;

Now, "/tmp/foo.yml" contains:

 {
   "bar" : "bla bla",
   "foo" : "yada",
   "baz" : {
      "hr" : "dobar dan",
      "en" : "hello",
      "fr" : "bonjour"
   }
 }

DESCRIPTION

This module is used directly by Config::Model to read or write the content of a configuration tree written with Json syntax in "Config::Model" configuration tree.

Note that undefined values are skipped for list element. I.e. if a list element contains "('a',undef,'b')", the data structure only contains 'a','b'.

CONSTRUCTOR

new ( node => $node_obj, name => 'Json' ) ;

Inherited from Config::Model::Backend::Any. The constructor is called by Config::Model::BackendMgr.

read ( io_handle => ... )

Of all parameters passed to this read call-back, only "io_handle" is used. This parameter must be an IO::File object already opened for read.

It can also be undef. In which case "read()" returns 0.

When a file is read, "read()" returns 1.

write ( io_handle => ... )

Of all parameters passed to this write call-back, only "io_handle" is used. This parameter must be IO::File object already opened for write.

"write()" returns 1.
