C<:all>. NOTE: This is to support legacy code that makes extensive
use of C<to_json> and C<from_json> which you are not yet in a position to
refactor. DO NOT use this import tag in new code, in order to avoid

which works equivalently to the above (and in the usual tradition will accept
a hashref instead of a hash, should you so desire).
+The resulting object is blessed into the underlying backend, which offers (at

=head1 BOOLEANS
To include JSON-aware booleans (C<true>, C<false>) in your data, just do:
my $true = JSON->true;
my $false = JSON->false;
+=head1 CONVERTING FROM JSON::Any
+
+L<JSON::Any> used to be the favoured compatibility layer above the various
+JSON backends, but over time has grown a lot of extra code to deal with legacy
+backends (e.g. L<JSON::Syck>) that are no longer needed. This is a rough guide of translating such code:
+
+Change code from:
+
+ use JSON::Any;
+ my $json = JSON::Any->new->objToJson($data); # or to_json($data), or Dump($data)
+
+to:
+
+ use JSON::MaybeXS;
+ my $json = encode_json($data);
+
+
+Change code from:
+
+ use JSON::Any;
+ my $data = JSON::Any->new->jsonToObj($json); # or from_json($json), or Load($json)
+
+to:
+
+ use JSON::MaybeXS;
+ my $json = decode_json($data);
+
+=head1 CAVEATS
+
+The C<new()> method in this module is technically a factory, not a
+constructor, because the objects it returns will I<NOT> be blessed into the
+C<JSON::MaybeXS> class.
+
+If you are using an object returned by this module as a Moo(se) attribute,
+this type constraint code:
+
+ is 'json' => ( isa => 'JSON::MaybeXS' );
+
+will I<NOT> do what you expect. Instead, either rely on the C<JSON> class
+constant described above, as so:
+
+ is 'json' => ( isa => JSON::MaybeXS::JSON() );
+
+Alternatively, you can use duck typing:
+
+ use Moose::Util::TypeConstraints 'duck_type';
+ is 'json' => ( isa => Object , duck_type([qw/ encode decode /]));
