Description: Read JSON into a Perl variable
 JSON::Parse offers the function /parse_json, which takes one argument, a
 string containing JSON, and returns a Perl reference or scalar. The input to
 parse_json must be a complete JSON structure.
 .
 A safer version of the same function /parse_json_safe also exists.
 .
 JSON::Parse also offers two validation functions, /valid_json, which returns
 true or false, and /assert_valid_json, which produces a descriptive fatal
 error if the JSON is invalid. These act at a higher speed than /parse_json.
 See /PERFORMANCE for a comparison.
 .
 JSON::Parse also offers one convenience function to read JSON directly from a
 file, /json_file_to_perl.
 .
