README

This library can be used to access JSON data with a document database (like MongoDB, CouchDB) like property query syntax.

It is NOT an exact Dot-Notion like approach to array structures. It (imho) needs a JSON array / object structure to work that way.

Installation

composer require ronolo/json-query

Usage

use RoNoLo\JsonQuery;

$q = JsonQuery::fromFile('data.json'); // or ...
$q = JsonQuery::fromData(['foo' => 1, 'bar' => 2]); // or ...
$q = JsonQuery::fromJson('{"foo": "bernd", "bar": "kitty"}');

$result = $q->query('foo'); // or ...
$result = $q->query('foo.bar'); // or ...
$result = $q->query('foo.2.bar'); // or ...
$result = $q->query('foo.2.bar.0.name'); // or ...
$result = $q->query('foo.bar.name'); // etc.

Examples

Please check the PhpUnit tests, to find more examples.

Limitations

Because of the nature of multidimensional arrays, queries which are very deep into the structure are possibly returned as multidimensional arrays. See PhpUnit example with 'persons.hobby.type' as the query.
