The Ivory JSON builder is a PHP 5.6+ library allowing you to build your JSON through the Symfony2 [PropertyAccess](http://symfony.com/doc/current/components/property_access/index.html) component while keeping the control of the value escaping.

```
use Ivory\JsonBuilder\JsonBuilder;

$builder = new JsonBuilder();
$json = $builder
    ->setValues(array('foo' => array('bar')))
    ->setValue('[baz]', 'bat', false)
    ->build();

// {"foo":["bar"],"baz":bat}
echo $json;
```
