Bio::Phylo::Parsers::Json - Parser used by Bio::Phylo::IO, no serviceable parts
inside
This module is used to import NeXML data that was re-formatted as JSON, using
the mapping implemented by XML::XML2JSON. This module is experimental in that
complex NeXML-to-JSON mapped strings may fail to yield valid NeXML (and,
consequently, valid Bio::Phylo objects) in the round trip. The reason for this
is that the XML2JSON omits xmlns declarations in its JSON output. We try to
work around this here by re-introducing the default namespaces, but if any
additional ones were present in the original NeXML (e.g. to specify namspaces
for metadata predicates) these can't be reconstructed. In addition, the JSON
that XML2JSON produces doesn't preserve element order. We try to be lenient
about this when parsing the intermediate NeXML, though it is actually invalid.
