README

A wrapper for the standard ext-json with sane defaults

Features

Decoding wrapper

Decoding wrapper is the main purpose of the library. It's killer feature is that JSON objects become instances of ArrayObject instead of stdClass. This both keeps array/object types of the original and allows to work with all data as with arrays.

<?php

$obj = \Arokettu\Json\Json::decode('{"abc": 123}');

// we can access any data array-style
unset($obj['abc']);

// object will not turn into array
echo \Arokettu\Json\Json::encode($obj);

Options objects

OOP interface for json parameters: `EncodeOptions and DecodeOptions`

<?php

use Arokettu\Json\EncodeOptions;

// set options with methods
$options = EncodeOptions::build()
    ->withThrowOnError()
    ->withHexAmp();
// set options with PHP 8 named params (both camel case and snake case names can be used)
$options = EncodeOptions::build(
    throw_on_error: true,   // apply JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR 
    hexAmp: true,           // apply JSON_HEX_AMP 
);
// use both with this library and with the base function
$value = \Arokettu\Json\Json::encode($json, $options);
$value = json_encode($json, $options->value()); 
// pretty print existing options mix
echo EncodeOptions::build(4194752)->toString();
// will get you 'JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR | JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES | JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE | JSON_PRETTY_PRINT'
