# Search::Elasticsearch::Serializer::JSON(3pm)

The default JSON Serializer, using JSON::MaybeXS

## NAME

Search::Elasticsearch::Serializer::JSON - The default JSON Serializer, using JSON::MaybeXS

## VERSION

version 8.12

## SYNOPSIS

```
    $e = Search::Elasticsearch(
        # serializer => 'JSON'
    );
```

## DESCRIPTION

This default Serializer class chooses between:

- •

  Cpanel::JSON::XS

- •

  JSON::XS

- •

  JSON::PP

First it checks if either Cpanel::JSON::XS or JSON::XS is already loaded and, if so, uses the appropriate backend.  Otherwise it tries to load Cpanel::JSON::XS, then JSON::XS and finally JSON::PP.

If you would prefer to specify a particular JSON backend, then you can do so by using one of these modules:

- •

  Search::Elasticsearch::Serializer::JSON::Cpanel

- •

  Search::Elasticsearch::Serializer::JSON::XS

- •

  Search::Elasticsearch::Serializer::JSON::PP

See their documentation for details.
