Greenskies Json

A PHP library to improve decoding - including schema validation and decoding to a class

It is basically a wrapper for:

• karriereat/json-decoder
• justinrainbow/json-schema With a little syntatic sugar and exceptions, even on PHP < 7.3

Installation

composer require greenskies/json

Decoding

To decode a json string simply pass the string to Json::Decode() This will return a standard object

$jsonString = '{"good":true}';

$decoded = Json::Decode($jsonString);

// $decoded->good = true

$jsonString = '{"good":true}';
$options = [
    Json::ASSOCIATIVE => true,
];
$decoded = Json::Decode($jsonString, $options);
// $decoded['good'] = true

Schema Validation

$jsonString = '{"processRefund": "true", "refundAmount": "17"}'
                             
$schema = (object) [
    "type"=>"object",
    "properties"=>(object)[
        "processRefund"=>(object)[
            "type"=>"boolean"
        ],
        "refundAmount"=>(object)[
            "type"=>"number"
        ]
    ]
];

$options = [
    Json::VALIDATOR => [
        Json::JSON_SCHEMA => $schema,
        Json::CONSTRAINTS => Constraint::CHECK_MODE_COERCE_TYPES,
    ],
];

$decoded = Json::Decode($jsonString, $options);

Decode to a class

$jsonString = '{"id": 1, "name": "John Doe"}';

$options = [
    Json::DECODER => [
        Json::CLASS_NAME => Person::class,       
    ],
];
$decoded = Json::Decode($jsonString, $options);

Decode Multiple

$jsonString = '[{"id": 1, "name": "John Doe"}, {"id": 2, "name": "Jane Doe"}]';

$options = [
    Json::DECODER => [
        Json::CLASS_NAME => Person::class,
        Json::DECODE_MULTIPLE => true,
    ],
];

$personArray = Json::Decode($jsonString, $options);
