### Converting JSON to Toon Format

[](#converting-json-to-toon-format)

```
use Knackline\LaravelToon\Toon;

$jsonData = [
    "context" => [
        "task" => "Our favorite hikes together",
        "location" => "Boulder",
        "season" => "spring_2025"
    ],
    "friends" => ["ana", "luis", "sam"],
    "hikes" => [
        [
            "id" => 1,
            "name" => "Blue Lake Trail",
            "distanceKm" => 7.5,
            "elevationGain" => 320,
            "companion" => "ana",
            "wasSunny" => true
        ]
    ]
];

$toon = Toon::fromJson($jsonData);
```

Output:

```
context:
  task: Our favorite hikes together
  location: Boulder
  season: spring_2025
friends[3]: ana,luis,sam
hikes[3]{id,name,distanceKm,elevationGain,companion,wasSunny}:
