wrapper for json\_decode and json\_encode
-----------------------------------------

[](#wrapper-for-json_decode-and-json_encode)

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/9c46cbb57b7fbe7f3b8b197e0959e1c9c3230d57da83275813392ee14bbfa102/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f7061756c67657373696e6765722f4a534f4e2e737667)](https://travis-ci.org/paulgessinger/JSON)

Wraps the json functions in PHP in a static class, and throws specific exceptions

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

[](#installation)

via composer

1. Get [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/)
2. Add `"paulgessinger/json": "dev-master"` to your require
3. Install dependencies with `composer install`

Getting started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

The abstract class PG\\JSON contains three methods `JSON::decode`, `JSON::encode` and `JSON::beautify`. They throw error specific exceptions, which all inherit from PG\\JSON\\Exception\\JsonException, so you can catch them all at once. Just go

```
use PG\JSON ;
JSON::encode(array('abc' => 'def'));

// or

JSON::decode('{"abc":"def"}') ;
```

Tests
-----

[](#tests)

Run the tests by calling `phpunit` in the root dir of the repo PHPUnit is also included in the *require-dev*s so you can get it with `composer install --dev` or `composer update`.
