Hello,
I have a proposal for PHP. The proposed interface would allow developers
to decode json into a custom object directly. If given the approval I would
possibly be able to implement it.
Here is my github link with further details:

I'll ask before someone else does...
Why does this need to be in PHP core? Why can't it be done purely in
user-space PHP code? The syntax would be different, fine, but how is it
functionally better in C?

PHP already has tons of abstractions designed to provide convenience.
We've never followed the "if it can be done in userland, don't do it in
core" standard. If we did, we would have far fewer array_* functions, for
example.
The question is whether or not this would be useful enough to warrant
putting it in core, not whether or not someone could write a ton of code to
do it in userland.
Dean, could you write an RFC for this proposal? That would make it easier
to evaluate, plus give us something we can vote on.

Except that "this is simple enough to do in PHP, why does it need to be
in core" has been the reason to reject plenty of proposals, too. It's an
entirely fair question to ask, and one that an RFC will need to address.
