Simple JSON Parsing

This package is designed to bridge the gap between the default json_* methods, ensuring a fluent and easy to use structure.

Installation

This package can be installed via [Composer]:

$ composer require jedkirby/json

It requires PHP >= 7.0.0.

Usage

The following guide assumes that you've imported the class Jedkirby\Json into your namespace.

The Json constructor requires you to pass the exact same methods as the json_decode method, however, is provides additional functionality once initilised.

The following code should help explain using this package, thus providing the fluent and easy to use structure:

$json = new Json('{"name":"James Kirby"}');

if (false === $json->isValid()) {
    throw new RuntimeException(sprintf(
        'Parsing failed with error "%s"',
        $json->getErrorMessage()
    ));
}

return $json->getResponse();

Helpers

There's a couple of helper methods built in, which provide additional functionality, these are listed below:

Method	Description
Json::decode()	Alias for the new Json() method, passing the same arguments.
Json::decodeFromPath()	Helper to read contents from a provided $path, which is the first argument instead of a JSON string.

Testing

Unit tests can be run within the package, however, it utilises Docker & Docker Compose:

$ docker-compose -f ./docker-compose.yml run --rm cli php ./vendor/bin/phpunit
