It offers the function parse_json(), which takes a string containing JSON, and returns an equivalent Perl structure. It also offers validation of JSON via valid_json(), which returns true or false depending on whether the JSON is correct or not, and assert_valid_json(), which produces a descriptive fatal error if the JSON is invalid. A function json_file_to_perl() reads JSON from a file, and there is a safer version of parse_json() called parse_json_safe() which doesn't throw exceptions. For special cases of parsing, there are also methods new() and run(), which create a JSON parsing object and run it on text. . JSON::Parse accepts only UTF-8 as input.
