[](#json)

JSON helpers for Ornament ORM

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

[](#installation)

```
$ composer require ornament/json
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

This packaged provides the `Json` decorator, which automagically calls `json_decode` on a string value (storage drivers usually don't do that for you). The decorator throws a `DomainException` if the string passed is not valid JSON. If the value input is not a string, it is used verbatim.

Additionally, it provides two helpful traits: `SerializeAll` and `SerializeOnlyPublic`. The first makes the property serializable; the second also, but only exposes the public properties.

Caveats
-------

[](#caveats)

While `null` is a valid value to encapsulate in a JSON string, it is assumed that this value is *not* valid. The decoded JSON should be either an object or an array - encoding `null` as JSON in a storage engine just doesn't... make a lot of sense.
