use BernardoSecades\Json\Option;
use BernardoSecades\Json\ArrayOption;

...

$options = new ArrayOption();
$options[] = Option::JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE(); // Use enum object
$options[] = Option::JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES();
$options[] = Option::JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK();

Json::encode($value, $options);
```

### Handle errors

[](#handle-errors)

```
use BernardoSecades\Json\Json;
use BernardoSecades\Json\DecodeException;
use BernardoSecades\Json\EncodeException;

} catch (DecodeException $exception) {
    // do something
}

// or

if (!Json::isValid($value)) {
   // do something
}

try {
    Json::encode($value);
} catch (EncodeException $exception) {
 // do something
}
```

use BernardoSecades\Json\DecodeException;

...

try {
    Json::decode($value);
} catch (DecodeException $exception) {

        $exception->getMessage(), // see http://php.net/manual/en/function.json-last-error-msg.php
