sub new {

    my %opts = @_;

    my $json = new JSON();
    $json->convert_blessed(1);
    $json->ascii(1);

    if (exists $opts{'filter_single'}) {
        $json->filter_json_single_key_object(@{$opts{'filter_single'}});
    }

    binmode $opts{'in'}, ':encoding(UTF-8)';
    binmode $opts{'out'}, ':encoding(UTF-8)';

    my $self = {
        in => $opts{'in'},
        out => $opts{'out'},
        json => $json,
    };

    return bless $self, $class;
}

Attempt to read a message from the input filehandle.  Returns the decoded
message as a data structure or undef if nothing was read.
