Exactly what I was going to say.
The one thing I'd like to see change is having JSON "objects" decoded into
PHP associative arrays, not PHP objects, as is done in the current PECL
implementation. Here's what happens now via PECL JSON:
========= script =========
<?php
echo '<pre>';
$enum = array('foo', 'bar');
$assoc = array('f' => 'foo', 'b' => 'bar');
$obj = new c;
echo "\nInitial PHP:\n";
print_r($enum);
print_r($assoc);
print_r($obj);
$pecl_enum = json_encode($enum);
$pecl_assoc = json_encode($assoc);
$pecl_obj = json_encode($obj);
echo "\nJSON encoded:\n";
echo $pecl_enum . "\n";
echo $pecl_assoc . "\n";
echo $pecl_obj . "\n";
echo "\nPHP decoded from JSON:\n";
print_r(json_decode($pecl_enum));
print_r(json_decode($pecl_assoc));
print_r(json_decode($pecl_obj));
?>
========= output =========
Initial PHP:
Array
(
[0] => foo
[1] => bar
)
Array
(
[f] => foo
[b] => bar
)
c Object
(
[f] => foo
[b] => bar
)
JSON encoded:
["foo","bar"]
{"f":"foo","b":"bar"}
{"f":"foo","b":"bar"}
PHP decoded from JSON:
Array
(
[0] => foo
[1] => bar
)
stdClass Object
(
[f] => foo
[b] => bar
)
stdClass Object
(
[f] => foo
[b] => bar
)
