Read Json makes it easy to read and work with json files.

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

[](#installation)

The recommended way to install this is through [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/).

```
composer require victorap93/readjson
```

How to use
----------

[](#how-to-use)

Assuming you have a *.json* file `./readjson/stores.json` with the following content.

```
{
    "stores": [
        {
            "name": "store one",
            "products": [
                {
                    "name": "product one",
                    "amount": 10
                },
                {
                    "name": "product two",
                    "amount": 20
                }
            ]
        },
        {
            "name": "store two",
            "products": [
                {
                    "name": "product two",
                    "amount": 22
                },
                {
                    "name": "product three",
                    "amount": 33
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}
```

And this *.php* in the same folder `./readjson/index.php`, the example below show different ways to acess *.json* file.

```
use \victorap93\ReadJson;

$json_path = "./stores.json";

// Get all json content.
$ReadJson = new ReadJson($json_path);
$json_object_value1 = $ReadJson->getJsonObject();

// Accessing the obtained object.
$json_object_value2 = $json_object_value1->stores[0]->products;

// Get a specified json content position in instance of class.
$ReadJson = new ReadJson($json_path, ['stores', 0, 'products']);
$json_object_value3 = $ReadJson->getJsonObject();

// Get a specified json content position in method call.
$ReadJson = new ReadJson($json_path, ['stores', 0]);
$json_object_value4 = $ReadJson->getJsonObject(['products']);

// Get a specified json content position with object.
$json_object_value5 = $ReadJson->accessRecursiveKeys($json_object_value4, [0, 'name']);
```
