It includes functionalities for loading, saving, and manipulating JSON data with a fluent API. Features -------- [](#features) - Load and save JSON data. - Access and modify JSON data using array syntax. - Push, prepend, and merge data into JSON objects. - Filter, map, reduce, and sort JSON data. - Increment and decrement numeric values. - Convert JSON objects to and from JSON strings. - Fluent API for chaining method calls. Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via composer: ``` composer require lnear/json ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) ### Basic Usage [](#basic-usage) ``` use Lame\JSONFile; // Instantiate JSONFile with a file path $jsonFile = new JSONFile('/path/to/file.json'); // Access and manipulate JSON data $jsonFile->put('key', 'value'); $jsonFile->save(); // Save changes to the file // Load JSON data from the file $data = $jsonFile->load(); ``` ### JSONString [](#jsonstring) The `JSONString` class handles JSON data stored as a string. It also extends the `JSONObject` abstract class and provides methods to work with JSON data in string format. ### Usage [](#usage-1) ``` use Lame\JSONString; // Instantiate JSONString with a JSON string $jsonString = new JSONString('{"key": "value"}'); // Access and manipulate JSON data $jsonString->put('newKey', 'newValue'); $jsonString->save(); // Save changes to the JSON string // Load JSON data from the string $data = $jsonString->load(); ``` Exception Handling ------------------ [](#exception-handling) Both classes handle exceptions related to JSON parsing and file operations. They throw appropriate exceptions when errors occur, allowing you to handle them gracefully in your application. ### ArrayAccess and Countable [](#arrayaccess-and-countable) ``` if ($jsonObject->has('name')) { echo $jsonObject['name']; // Outputs: John } $jsonObject['email'] = 'john.doe@example.com'; unset($jsonObject['age']); echo count($jsonObject); // Outputs the count of items in the JSON object ``` ### Data Manipulation [](#data-manipulation) ``` $jsonObject->push('tags', 'developer'); $jsonObject->prepend('tags', 'programmer'); $jsonObject->increment('age', 2); $jsonObject->decrement('age', 1); $allData = $jsonObject->all(); $filteredData = $jsonObject->filter(fn($key, $value) => is_string($value)); ``` ### Advanced Methods [](#advanced-methods) ``` $keysStartingWithA = $jsonObject->startingWith('a'); $jsonObject->forget('location'); $jsonObject->flush(); $jsonObject->flushStartingWith('temp_'); $jsonObject->each(fn($key, $value) => print("Key: $key, Value: $value")); $mappedData = $jsonObject->map(fn($value) => strtoupper($value)); $reducedData = $jsonObject->reduce(fn($carry, $value) => $carry . $value, ''); $sortedData = $jsonObject->sort(fn($a, $b) => $a $b); $reversedData = $jsonObject->reverse(); ``` License ------- [](#license) This project is licensed under the MIT License - see the [LICENSE](https://github.com/lnear-dev/JSONObject/blob/main/LICENSE) file for details.
