JSONParser

About

Thin wrapper around json_decode and json_encode with exceptions and some handy methods.

Requirements

PHP 7.4^

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require dnonov/json-parser

Description

This mainly exists because of the silent json_decode; if something's wrong it will return null. I prefer exceptions and nicer method names. It is very thin wrapper around three functions in PHP standard library, but I'm tired of re-writing it every time.

Here's how to use it

use Dnonov\JsonParser\Facades\JSONParser;

$arrayData = JSONParser::decodeToArray("[{"one": 1, "two": 2}]");
$objectData = JSONParser::decodeToObject("[{"one": 1, "two": 2}]");

$array = ["one" => 1, "two" => 2];
$encodedArrayData = JSONParser::encode($array);

// Make sure file path is relative to `base_path()`.
$arrayFileData = JSONParser::decodeFromFileToArray("./data.json");
$objectFileData = JSONParser::decodeFromFileToObject("./data.json");

// There are some handy methods.
$object = JSONParser::arrayToObject(["one" => 1, "two" => 2]);
$array = JSONParser::objectToArray($object);

Various exceptions might be thrown during decoding and encoding.

• JsonMaxDepthException
• JsonInvalidOrMalformedException
• JsonControlCharacterException
• JsonSyntaxErrorException
• JsonMalformedUTF8Exception
• JsonRecursiveReferenceException
• JsonInfinityOrNanDetectedException
• JsonUnsupportedTypeException
• JsonException
• InvalidArgumentExceptions
