mod_json
This module provides methods to convert from and to JSON ( JavaScript Object Notation. ) Generally you just use the PHP json_encode() and json_decode() methods directly in PINP. However if for some reason these functions aren't available, this module provides a backup. In addition it has one extra method: indent() - which allows you to pretty-print a json string.
JSON::encode and JSON::decode accept a behaviour parameter, which can have one of the following values or a binary OR combination of them:
SERVICES_JSON_LOOSE_TYPE | Loose typing. When parsing JSON objects this creates a PHP associative array ( or hash ) instead. |
SERVICES_JSON_SUPPRESS_ERRORS | Error suppresion. Values which can't be encoded to JSON will appear as NULL instead. |
