Subject: JSON::Syck can create syntax errors in hashes
If a hash has an "implicit" undef value, that value can be completely omitted by JSON, causing a JavaScript syntax error. To repo: perl -MJSON::Syck=Dump -e 'print Dump({foo => !1})' produces: {"foo":} Expected output: {"foo": null}

It's strange that your script gives me {"foo":""} at t/04_null.t line 7. but definitely, using undef returns empty string: use JSON::Syck; my $dat = JSON::Syck::Dump({ foo => undef }); like $dat, qr/null/; 1..1 not ok 1 # Failed test in t/04_null.t at line 7. # '{"foo":}' # doesn't match '(?-xism:null)' # Looks like you failed 1 test of 1.

Bizzare; i'm the other way around! : use JSON::Syck; my $dat = JSON::Syck::Dump({ foo => undef }); print "undef == $dat\n"; $dat = JSON::Syck::Dump({ foo => !1 }); print "implicit undef == $dat\n"; Results: undef == {"foo":null} implicit undef == {"foo":} That's with 0.07. Could it be something different about the way libsyck is compiled on our systems?

JSON::Syck and YAML::Syck doesn't use external libsyck, but statically compiles it. -- Tatsuhiko Miyagawa

I was thinking more perl's compiler flags, or something else to do with the architecture. I've attached relevant data (perl -V, ldd/nm on Syck.so) in case it's a help.

Right now, I get the following if I run the previously mentioned one liners: $>perl -MJSON::Syck=Dump -E 'say Dump({foo => undef})' {"foo":null} $>perl -MJSON::Syck=Dump -E 'say Dump({foo => !1})' {"foo":""} As I see it, this is doing the right thing since !1 translates to an empty string in perl, which is false. You're kind of hitting the limits of perl's ability to talk with JSON. I've been down this road dealing with quoted versus unquoted numbers in recent versions of JSON::Syck. Do we need to do something further as of the most recent version of JSON::Syck? If so, please re-open the ticket so we can discuss further. Thanks, Todd
