Overview

This plugin allows you to embed JSON strings in HTML. In the output, special characters such as "<" and "&" are escaped as "\uxxxx" to prevent XSS attacks.

It also provides decoding function to keep compatibility with Template::Plugin::JSON.

    <script>
        var json = [% json_struct.json %];
    </script>
