Which Perl module would you recommend for JSON manipulation?

cpan, json, perl, perl-module

Solution

JSON module works like a champ, but if you need a faster parser, use this one: JSON::XS, which requires a native compilation.

Note that JSON version 2.0 and above is merely a front end for JSON::XS (if installed) or JSON::PP (fallback).

Problem

As usual, I'm happy to deal with CPAN because it got all we need. As usual, I'm lost because there is plenty of stuff. I can find the core `JSON` one by myself, and feel enthusiastic by a `JSON::Tiny` other. My needs are very simple (parsing stuffs from the Open Library API) and, maybe someday, expose our own data. Is there any other modules that you like for this task?
