Json-Decoder
============

[](#json-decoder)

Json Decoder Component

How to decode json
------------------

[](#how-to-decode-json)

Do not use `json_decode()`, before PHP 7.3 you have to manually throw exception when decode fail.

Create a JsonDecoder
--------------------

[](#create-a-jsondecoder)

You should create a class for each json you need to decode, who extends `Wizacha\Json\Decoder\AbstractJsonDecoder`.

Your class should configure AbstractJsonDecoder:

```
class FooJsonDecoder extends AbstractJsonDecoder
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this
            // throw a Wizacha\Json\Exception\JsonDecodeNullException exception if json_decode() return null
            ->setAllowNull(true)
            // transform objects into associative arrays, 2nd parameter of json_decode()
            ->setAssociative(false)
            // depth, 3nd parameter of json_decode()
            ->setDepth(512)
            // transform bigint as string
            ->setBigIntAsString(false)
            // transform objects as arrays, useless if setAssociative(true)
            ->setObjectAsArray(false);
    }

    protected function configureDecodedJson(OptionsResolver $optionsResolver): parent
    {
        // if json_decode() return an array, configure expected keys
        // @see https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/options_resolver.html

        $optionsResolver
            ->setRequired('myKey')
            ->setAllowedTypes('myKey', 'string');

        return $this;
    }
}
```

Use your JsonDecoder to decode json
-----------------------------------

[](#use-your-jsondecoder-to-decode-json)

If your JsonDecoder don't need dependencies, you could instanciate it manually:

```
$decodedJson = (new FooJsonDecoder())->decode($json);
```

If it need dependencies, register it as Symfony service and use it:

```
$decodedJson = container()->get('json_decoder.foo')->decode($json);
```
