Request body parser PSR-15 middleware
=====================================

[](#request-body-parser-psr-15-middleware)

PSR-15 middleware for parsing requests with JSON and URI encoded bodies regardless of HTTP method.

Version 2 calls `request_parse_body()` when applicable, which is when a webserver SAPI is used. This excludes running in test runners or CLI. It's also important to *not* consume the `php://input` stream or else an `\Kekos\ParseRequestBodyMiddleware\ParserException` will be thrown.

Install
-------

[](#usage)

Add the `\Kekos\ParseRequestBodyMiddleware\ParseRequestBodyMiddleware` middleware to your PSR-15 handler, and it will populate `ServerRequestInterface::getParsedBody()` as array.

The parser will throw `\Kekos\ParseRequestBodyMiddleware\ParserException` if a malformed JSON body was sent.
