json 1.2.0

==========

This extension implements the JavaScript Object Notation (JSON)

data-interchange format as specified in [0].

Two functions are implemented: encoding and decoding. The decoding

is handled by a parser based on JSON_checker[1] by Douglas Crockford.

Function overview

-----------------

string json_encode ( mixed value )

json_encode returns a string containing the JSON representation of value.

value can be any type except a resource.

mixed json_decode ( string json, [bool assoc] )

json_decode takes a JSON string and converts it into a PHP variable.

When assoc is given, and evaluates to TRUE, json_decode() will return

any objects as associative arrays.

Example usage

-------------

$arr = array("a"=>1,"b"=>2,"c"=>3,"d"=>4,"e"=>5);

echo json_encode($arr);

---> {"a":1,"b":2,"c":3,"d":4,"e":5}

$json = '{"a":1,"b":2,"c":3,"d":4,"e":5}';

var_dump(json_decode($json));

---> object(stdClass)#1 (5) {

["a"]=>

int(1)

["b"]=>

int(2)

["c"]=>

int(3)

["d"]=>

int(4)

["e"]=>

int(5)

}

$json = '{"a":1,"b":2,"c":3,"d":4,"e":5}';

var_dump(json_decode($json, true));

---> array(5) {

["a"]=>

int(1)

["b"]=>

int(2)

["c"]=>

int(3)

["d"]=>

int(4)

["e"]=>

int(5)

}
