=head1 NAME

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::MetaJSON - produce a META.json

=head1 VERSION

version 6.037

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This plugin will add a F<META.json> file to the distribution.

This file is meant to replace the old-style F<META.yml>.  For more information
on this file, see L<Module::Build::API> and L<CPAN::Meta>.

=head1 PERL VERSION

This module should work on any version of perl still receiving updates from
the Perl 5 Porters.  This means it should work on any version of perl
released in the last two to three years.  (That is, if the most recently
released version is v5.40, then this module should work on both v5.40 and
v5.38.)

Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the
minimum required version will not be increased.  The version may be increased
for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to
lower the minimum required perl.

=head1 ATTRIBUTES

=head2 filename

If given, parameter allows you to specify an alternate name for the generated
file.  It defaults, of course, to F<META.json>.

=head2 version

This parameter lets you pick what version of the spec to use when generating
the output.  It defaults to 2 at present, but may be updated to new specs as
they are released and adopted.

If you want a fixed version, specify it.
