NAME Test::JSYNC - Test JSYNC data VERSION This document describes Test::JSYNC version 0.02. SYNOPSIS use Test::JSYNC; jsync_ok $jsync, 'jsync is well formed'; jsync_is $jsync, $expected_jsync, 'jsync matches what we expected'; DESCRIPTION JSON YAML Notation Coding (JSYNC) is an extension of JSON that can serialize any data objects. Test::JSYNC makes it easy to verify that you have built valid JSYNC and that it matches your expected output. This module uses the JSYNC module, which is currently the only CPAN module to support JSYNC; however, the module itself states that it "is a very early release of JSYNC, and should not be used at all unless you know what you are doing." EXPORTED TESTS jsync_ok Test passes if the string passed is valid JSYNC. jsync_ok $jsync, 'jsync is well formed'; "is_valid_jsync" is provided as an alternative to "jsync_ok" using the same naming convention as Test::JSON but is not exported by default. jsync_is Test passes if the two JSYNC strings are valid JSYNC and evaluate to the same data structure. jsync_is $jsync, $expected_jsync, 'jsync matches what we expected'; Test::Differences is used to provide easy diagnostics of why the JSYNC structures did not match. For example: Failed test 'jsync matches what we expected' in t/jsync.t at line 10. +----+---------------------------+---------------------------+ | Elt|Got |Expected | +----+---------------------------+---------------------------+ | 0|{ |{ | | 1| bool => '1', | bool => '1', | | 2| description => bless( { | description => bless( { | | 3| value => undef | value => undef | | 4| }, 'Foo' ), | }, 'Foo' ), | | 5| id => '1', | id => '1', | * 6| name => 'foo' | name => 'fo' * | 7|} |} | +----+---------------------------+---------------------------+ "is_jsync" is provided as an alternative to "jsync_is" using the same naming convention as Test::JSON but is not exported by default.
