Description
-----------

[](#description)

This library implements the [RFC 6901](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6901) for PHP. It is possible to parse a path (e.g.`/some/path`) or create the `JsonPointer` object from array (e.g. `['some','path']`). There are several other good libraries ( [1](https://github.com/gamringer/JSONPointer), [2](https://github.com/webnium/php-json-pointer), [3](https://github.com/raphaelstolt/php-jsonpointer)) for parsing json-pointers, but none of them was able to access other php structures besides default arrays. With different accessors, which are part of this library, you can apply json-pointers to either arrays or also plain objects. Custom accessors can simply be created on your own.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)
