How do I choose the correct Perl module from these variations?

When looking for Perl modules to handle JSON strings and/or documents, I found JSON::PP and JSON::XS. The documentation of JSON::PP says it is compatible with JSON::XS.

  1. What do these suffixes mean?
  2. Which one should I use and why?
perl json perl-module

Realistically in 2024, you should be using Cpanel::JSON::XS, and JSON::MaybeXS. Cpanel::JSON::XS is by far the best JSON implementation for Perl, but not every platform will have it, so you can use JSON::MaybeXS to include the "best" JSON implementation for the current platform. Which could be any of Cpanel::JSON::XS (best), JSON::XS, JSON::PP, or JSON.

Keep in mind that the goal of this self-answered question was not to make module recommendations. Rather, it was to explain what the "big picture" differences are, between the modules, etc.
