Summary
-------

[](#summary)

A [UBJSON](https://ubjson.org/) (draft-12) implementation.

### Classes

[](#classes)

NameDescriptionLum\\Encode\\UBJSONThe main transcoder class.### Example Usage

[](#example-usage)

#### Quick with defaults

[](#quick-with-defaults)

```
use Lum\Encode\UBJSON;

$encodedString = UBJSON::encode($anArrayOrObject);

$decodedArray = UBJSON::decode($encodedString);
```

#### With extra options

[](#with-extra-options)

```
use Lum\Encode\UBJSON;

// Default option values shown below.
// Only include the ones you want to override.
// 'optimized' and 'draft9' are mutually exclusive.
$ubj = new UBJSON(
[
  'throw'     => true,
  'asArray'   => true,
  'optimized' => false,
  'draft9'    => false,
]);

$encodedString = $ubj->encodeValue($arrayOrObject);

$decodedArrayOrObject = $ubj->decodeValue($encodedString);
```

The `draft9` option is kept only for compatibility with the previous UBJSON implementation that lived in the [lum-encode](https://github.com/supernovus/lum.encode.php) package. It should not be used in new code.
