Bug #80514 for CHI: enabled convert blessed

Tue Oct 30 21:22:22 2012 xenoterracide [...] gmail.com - Ticket created

Subject:	enabled convert blessed
Date:	Tue, 30 Oct 2012 20:22:00 -0500
To:	bugs-chi [...] rt.cpan.org
From:	Caleb Cushing <xenoterracide [...] gmail.com>

encountered object 'TestEntity=HASH(0x2640d68)', but neither allow_blessed nor convert_blessed settings are enabled at /home/libdevel/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.16.1/lib/site_perl/5.16.1/CHI/Util.pm line 197. I know that I can pass my own serializers for digesting objects, but my objects support the TO_JSON interface required by JSON, so it seems novel just to use that, and then let it fail if that interface isn't provided. -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.com

I don't want to turn on allow_blessed by default because there's a danger of a silent conversion of a blessed object to "null". Are you saying that CHI itself should check for TO_JSON? It would have to walk complex data structures in case the object was buried.
