Example of usage: ``` $backyard = new WorkOfStan\Backyard\Backyard(array('logging_level' => 3)); $logger = $backyard->BackyardError; $dbConnection = new WorkOfStan\Backyard\BackyardMysqli(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_DATABASE, $logger); ``` class BackyardBriefApiClient ---------------------------- [](#class-backyardbriefapiclient) Very simple JSON RESTful API client. It just sends JSON and returns what is to be returned with few optional decorators and error logging. - `sendJsonLoad` - sends JSON and returns whatever is returned with second OPTIONAL parameter with HTTP verb `GET`,`PUT`,`DELETE` - `getJsonArray` - sends JSON and returns array decoded from response JSON - `getArrayArray` - encode array to a JSON and returns array decoded from response JSON ### Health Score 60 — FairBetter than 99% of packages Maintenance94 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity23 Limited adoption so far Community13 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity93 Battle-tested with a long release history Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 85.5% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
