## NAME

KiokuDB::Backend::Serialize::JSON - Role to serialize entries to JSON strings with KiokuDB::Backend::Serialize::JSPON semantics

        my ( $self, $entry ) = @_;
        my $json_string = $self->serialize($entry);
    }
```

## DESCRIPTION

  Returns a JSON string

- deserialize $json\_str

  Returns a KiokuDB::Entry

## ATTRIBUTES

- json

  The JSON instance used to encode/decode the JSON.
