JSON-C wrapper
This is the sources repository for http://pecl.php.net/package/jsonc
This extension was created to be a drop-in alternative to the standard PHP 5 json extension, because of the licensing concerns over the JSON parser code used as part of the standard PHP json extension. See PHP bug #63520
As PHP 7 have a new ext/json extension, which is free, this extension will not be made comptible, and won't be available for PHP 7.
json_encode is the same than current PHP one.
json_decode use the json-c library and is mostly compatible.
A new option JSON_PARSER_NOTSTRICT allow to reduce parser strictness
- integer could start with zero
- string can be single or double-quoted
- comments are allowed in json string/files (Using /* */ or // until end of line)
- ignore trailing char after data
- no check for invalid UTF-8 characters
Also provide a new incremental parser object:
$parser = new JsonIncrementalParser();
$fic = fopen("somefile.json", "r");
do {
$buf = fgets($fic);
$ret = $parser->parse($buf);
} while ($buf && ($ret==JsonIncrementalParser::JSON_PARSER_CONTINUE));
$result = $parser->get();
or, even simpler:
$ret = $parser->parseFile("somefile.json");
$result = $parser->get();
