Easy JSON
=========

[](#easy-json)

Parsing JSON files
------------------

[](#parsing-json-files)

Here is a simple example how to parse large JSON files:

```
(new JsonParser($fh))
    ->eachItem('Library.Books', function($parser, $index) {
        // this callback will be invoked for each book

        $parser
            ->value('Author', $author)
            ->value('ISBN', $isbn)
            ->consume();

        // do s.th. with author and ISBN data

    })
    ->parse();

```

The following example shows how values can be collected:

```
(new JsonParser($fh))
    ->collectItemValues('Library.Books.ISBN', $isbns)
    ->parase();

// $isbns now holds the ISBNs of all books

```

***TODO:*** add more examples and details

Writing JSON files
------------------

[](#writing-json-files)

Here is a simple example how to write JSON files:

```
$builder = new JsonBuilder($fh);

$builder->write([
    'version' => '1.0',
    'users' => new JsonArray(function(JsonBuilder $builder) {
        foreach(getUsers() as $currUser) {
            yield ['name' => $currUser->name];
        }
    }),
]);

```

To force a specific JSON data type, you can use the following classes:

- `JsonArray`
- `JsonObject`
- `JsonNumber`

### Resources

[](#resources)

You can write a resource as JSON string without reading all the stream data into memory:

```
$builder->write(new JsonResourceString($fh))

```

You can optionally encode the data as JSON:

```
$builder->write(new JsonResourceString($fh, true))

```
