I'm jumping on to this a little late, but a few points from my experience with JSON in php. 1. The php extension for json is significantly faster than the native PHP implementation (sorry, I don't have tests that I can show). 2. AFAIK, the extension has been around since 4.3 at least, and made it into mainstream PHP later. 3. By default (in PHP 5), json_decode will return an Object rather than an associative array. You need to pass in true as the second parameter to this function to get it to return an array. Apart from this, I have seen no differences since 4.3. 4. json_encode/json_decode are almost as fast as php's built in serialize and unserialize functions, and result in smaller serialised representations. _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
