Overview
--------

[](#overview)

This Phel library is a wrapper library around PHP `json_encode` and `json_decode` functions.

It converts Phel datastructures and basic types to a format that PHP understands before calling `(php/json_encode)`.

It generates valid Phel datastructures (map, vector) from given JSON strings using `(php/json_decode)`.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

From the command line:

```
composer require mabasic/phel-json
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

This Phel library has two public method:

- `(json/encode value {:depth 512 :flags 0})`
- `(json/decode json {:depth 512 :flags 0})`

```
(ns your\namespace
    (:require mabasic\json\json))

(def result (json/encode {:name "Phel"  :type "lisp"}))

# result
# {"name": "Phel", "type": "lisp"}

(println (json/decode result))

# output
# {:name "Phel"  :type "Lisp"}

```
