jdwx/json-api-client
====================

[](#jdwxjson-api-client)

A simple PHP module for interacting with JSON API services.

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

[](#installation)

You can require it directly with Composer:

```
composer require jdwx/json-api-client
```

Or download the source from GitHub:

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

This module requires PHP 8.3 or later. The implementation depends on the excellent [Guzzle](https://docs.guzzlephp.org/en/stable/)HTTP client implementation, which provides all the needed features for extended streaming support. It also requires the JSON extension.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Here is a basic usage example:

```
$client = JDWX\JsonApiClient\HttpClient::withGuzzle( 'https://api.example.com' );
$rsp = $client->request( 'GET', '/v1/resource' );
if ( ! $rsp->isSuccess() ) {
    $uStatus = $rsp->status();
    echo "{$uStatus} Error: ", $rsp->body(), "\n";
    exit( 1 );
}
if ( ! $rsp->isJson() ) {
    $stContentType = $rsp->getOneHeader( 'content-type' ) ?? 'none';
    echo "Error: Expected JSON content-type, got: {$stContentType}\n";
    exit( 1 );
}
$data = $rsp->json();
var_dump( $data );
```

There is also 100% test coverage for this module, which provides additional examples of usage.

Stability
---------

[](#stability)

This module is considered stable and is used in production code. However, it was newly-developed in 2024 based on multiple previous implementations, so it hasn't received the same level of testing and extensive use as some of the other modules in this suite. That said, it successfully processes hundreds of thousands of API calls per day.

History
-------

[](#history)

This module was refactored out of four separate existing modules for interacting with JSON APIs in a larger codebase. It has been rewritten essentially from scratch. It was initially released in 2024.
