Author: Joost Nijhuis <>

A PHP Implementation for building an AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) from a `JSON` string.
The AST is visitable and can be visited by implementing a visitor (Behavioral Design Pattern Visitor).

Purposes of this library are:

- Validate JSON syntax and give the end user a precise error message about syntax errors
- Transform an AST to a JSON string and control the format
- Travers AST by implementing your own visitor

More information about the lightweight data-interchange format JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) can be found [here](https://www.json.org/).
