Json

The Json component offers a few JSON utilities. It uses PHP's native json_encode() and json_decode().

Encoding and Decoding

The encode() and decode() methods will automatically throw a \JsonException , if encoding or decoding fails. It does so by setting the JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR bitmask option, when invoked.

use Aedart\Utils\Json;

$encoded = Json::encode([
    'name'  => 'Reilly',
    'age'   => 32
]);

// ------------------------------------------ //

$decoded = Json::decode('{"name":"Michele Rodriguez","age":4}');

Validation

You can also validate if a value is a valid JSON encoded string, using the isValid() method.

echo Json::isValid('{ "name": "Sven" }'); // true

echo Json::isValid('{ "name": "Sven"');   // false
