[](#php-json-wrapper)

json\_encode() and json\_decode() wrapper with better error handling

PHP 7.3 and above
-----------------

[](#php-73-and-above)

Since version 7.3 you PHP supports [`JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR`](http://php.net/manual/en/json.constants.php#constant.json-throw-on-error) constant to change the default behaviour to exceptions. No need for additional libraries anymore.
