-.PP
-If you know a \s-1JSON\s0 text from an outer world \- a network, a file content, and so on,
-is encoded in \s-1UTF\-8\s0, you should use \f(CW\*(C`decode_json\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`JSON\*(C'\fR module object

-If \f(CW$enable\fR is false, then the encode method will return the \s-1JSON\s0 string as a (non-encoded)

-In some cases, there is the need for incremental parsing of \s-1JSON\s0 texts.
-This module does allow you to parse a \s-1JSON\s0 stream incrementally.

-it then can decode. This process is similar to using \f(CW\*(C`decode_prefix\*(C'\fR
-to see if a full \s-1JSON\s0 object is available, but is much more efficient
-(and can be implemented with a minimum of method calls).
-.PP
-This module will only attempt to parse the \s-1JSON\s0 text once it is sure it
-has enough text to get a decisive result, using a very simple but
-truly incremental parser. This means that it sometimes won't stop as
-early as the full parser, for example, it doesn't detect parenthesis
-mismatches. The only thing it guarantees is that it starts decoding as
-soon as a syntactically valid \s-1JSON\s0 text has been seen. This means you need
-to set resource limits (e.g. \f(CW\*(C`max_size\*(C'\fR) to ensure the parser will stop
-parsing in the presence if syntax errors.

-This is the central parsing function. It can both append new text and
-extract objects from the stream accumulated so far (both of these

-.PP
-If \f(CW$string\fR is given, then this string is appended to the already
-existing \s-1JSON\s0 fragment stored in the \f(CW$json\fR object.
-.PP
-After that, if the function is called in void context, it will simply
-return without doing anything further. This can be used to add more text
-in as many chunks as you want.
-.PP
-If the method is called in scalar context, then it will try to extract
-exactly \fIone\fR \s-1JSON\s0 object. If that is successful, it will return this
-object, otherwise it will return \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR. If there is a parse error,
-this method will croak just as \f(CW\*(C`decode\*(C'\fR would do (one can then use
-\&\f(CW\*(C`incr_skip\*(C'\fR to skip the erroneous part). This is the most common way of
-using the method.
-.PP
-And finally, in list context, it will try to extract as many objects
-from the stream as it can find and return them, or the empty list
-otherwise. For this to work, there must be no separators between the \s-1JSON\s0

-.IP "object" 4
-.IX Item "object"
-A \s-1JSON\s0 object becomes a reference to a hash in Perl. No ordering of object
-keys is preserved (\s-1JSON\s0 does not preserver object key ordering itself).
-.IP "array" 4
-.IX Item "array"
-A \s-1JSON\s0 array becomes a reference to an array in Perl.
-.IP "string" 4
-.IX Item "string"
-A \s-1JSON\s0 string becomes a string scalar in Perl \- Unicode codepoints in \s-1JSON\s0
-are represented by the same codepoints in the Perl string, so no manual
-decoding is necessary.
-.IP "number" 4
-.IX Item "number"
-A \s-1JSON\s0 number becomes either an integer, numeric (floating point) or
-string scalar in perl, depending on its range and any fractional parts. On
-the Perl level, there is no difference between those as Perl handles all
-the conversion details, but an integer may take slightly less memory and
-might represent more values exactly than floating point numbers.
-.Sp
-If the number consists of digits only, \f(CW\*(C`JSON\*(C'\fR will try to represent
-it as an integer value. If that fails, it will try to represent it as
-a numeric (floating point) value if that is possible without loss of
-precision. Otherwise it will preserve the number as a string value (in
-which case you lose roundtripping ability, as the \s-1JSON\s0 number will be
-re-encoded to a \s-1JSON\s0 string).
-.Sp
-Numbers containing a fractional or exponential part will always be
-represented as numeric (floating point) values, possibly at a loss of
-precision (in which case you might lose perfect roundtripping ability, but
-the \s-1JSON\s0 number will still be re-encoded as a \s-1JSON\s0 number).
-.Sp
-Note that precision is not accuracy \- binary floating point values cannot
-represent most decimal fractions exactly, and when converting from and to
-floating point, \f(CW\*(C`JSON\*(C'\fR only guarantees precision up to but not including
-the least significant bit.
-.Sp
-When \f(CW\*(C`allow_bignum\*(C'\fR is enable, the big integers 
-and the numeric can be optionally converted into Math::BigInt and
-Math::BigFloat objects.

-These \s-1JSON\s0 atoms become \f(CW\*(C`JSON::PP::true\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`JSON::PP::false\*(C'\fR,

-\&\f(CW1\fR and \f(CW0\fR. You can check whether a scalar is a \s-1JSON\s0 boolean by using

-.SS "\s-1PERL\s0 \-> \s-1JSON\s0"
-.IX Subsection "PERL -> JSON"
-The mapping from Perl to \s-1JSON\s0 is slightly more difficult, as Perl is a
-truly typeless language, so we can only guess which \s-1JSON\s0 type is meant by
-a Perl value.
-.IP "hash references" 4
-.IX Item "hash references"
-Perl hash references become \s-1JSON\s0 objects. As there is no inherent ordering
-in hash keys (or \s-1JSON\s0 objects), they will usually be encoded in a
-pseudo-random order that can change between runs of the same program but
-stays generally the same within a single run of a program. \f(CW\*(C`JSON\*(C'\fR
-optionally sort the hash keys (determined by the \fIcanonical\fR flag), so
-the same data structure will serialise to the same \s-1JSON\s0 text (given same
-settings and version of \s-1JSON::XS\s0), but this incurs a runtime overhead
-and is only rarely useful, e.g. when you want to compare some \s-1JSON\s0 text
-against another for equality.
-.IP "array references" 4

-Perl array references become \s-1JSON\s0 arrays.

-Other unblessed references are generally not allowed and will cause an

-\&\f(CW1\fR, which get turned into \f(CW\*(C`false\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`true\*(C'\fR atoms in \s-1JSON\s0. You can

-\&\f(CW\*(C`allow_blessed\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`convert_blessed\*(C'\fR methods on various options on

-.IP "simple scalars" 4
-.IX Item "simple scalars"
-Simple Perl scalars (any scalar that is not a reference) are the most
-difficult objects to encode: \s-1JSON::XS\s0 and \s-1JSON::PP\s0 will encode undefined scalars as
-\&\s-1JSON\s0 \f(CW\*(C`null\*(C'\fR values, scalars that have last been used in a string context
-before encoding as \s-1JSON\s0 strings, and anything else as number value:

-.Vb 4
-\&   my $x = 3.1; # some variable containing a number
-\&   "$x";        # stringified
-\&   $x .= "";    # another, more awkward way to stringify
-\&   print $x;    # perl does it for you, too, quite often
-.Ve
-.Sp
-You can force the type to be a number by numifying it:
-.Sp
-.Vb 3
-\&   my $x = "3"; # some variable containing a string
-\&   $x += 0;     # numify it, ensuring it will be dumped as a number
-\&   $x *= 1;     # same thing, the choice is yours.
-.Ve
-.Sp
-You can not currently force the type in other, less obscure, ways.
-.Sp
-Note that numerical precision has the same meaning as under Perl (so
-binary to decimal conversion follows the same rules as in Perl, which
-can differ to other languages). Also, your perl interpreter might expose
-extensions to the floating point numbers of your platform, such as
-infinities or NaN's \- these cannot be represented in \s-1JSON\s0, and it is an
