Differences: - License - File actions are not available in this library, that's your responsibility - Fallback implementation is provided by a transparent compatibility layer (WIP) - Provides type conversion like in PHP 5.6.1 - Provides different ways for rendering array and boolean values - Parser always uses raw scanner mode License ------- [](#license) The MIT License (MIT).
