Latest Stable Version License Total Downloads CI CodeCov PSR1 PSR4 PSR12

PHP simple library for managing JSON files.

Requirements

  • Operating System: Linux.

  • PHP versions: 8.1 | 8.2.

Installation

The preferred way to install this extension is through Composer.

composer require josantonius/json

The previous command will only install the necessary files, if you prefer to download the full source code use:

composer require josantonius/json --prefer-source

You can also clone the complete repository with Git:

git clone https://github.com/josantonius/php-json.git

Available Classes

Json Class

Josantonius\Json\Json

Create object referencing the JSON file:

/**
 * @param string $filepath The path to the JSON file to be handled.
 */
public function __construct(public readonly string $filepath)
{
}

Get the path to the JSON file:

public readonly string $filepath;

Check if the JSON file has already been created:

/**
 * @return bool True if the file exists at the specified filepath, false otherwise.
 */
public function exists(): bool;

Get the contents of the JSON file:

/**
 * @param bool $asObject If true and the value is an array, it is returned as an object.
 *
 * @throws GetFileException
 * @throws JsonErrorException
 *
 * @return mixed the contents of the JSON file.
 */
public function get(bool $asObject = false): mixed;

Set the contents of a JSON or a key within the file:

/**
 * @param mixed  $content The data that will be written to the file or a key within the file.
 * @param string $dot     The dot notation representing the key to be modified within the file.
 *
 * @throws GetFileException
 * @throws JsonErrorException
 * @throws CreateFileException
 * @throws CreateDirectoryException
 * @throws NoIterableElementException
 *
 * @return mixed the content of the JSON file after the set operation.
 */
public function set(mixed $content = [], string $dot = null): array|bool|int|null|string;

Merge the provided data with the contents of a JSON file or a key within the file:

/**
 * @param mixed  $content The data that will be written to the file or a key within the file.
 * @param string $dot     The dot notation representing the key to be modified within the file.
 *
 * @throws GetFileException
 * @throws JsonErrorException
 * @throws NoIterableFileException
 * @throws NoIterableElementException
 *
 * @return mixed the content of the JSON file after the merge operation.
 */
public function merge(array|object $content, string $dot = null): array;

Remove and get the last element of a JSON file or a key within the file:

/**
 * @param string $dot The dot notation representing the key to be modified within the file.
 *
 * @throws GetFileException
 * @throws JsonErrorException
 * @throws NoIterableFileException
 * @throws NoIterableElementException
 *
 * @return mixed|null the last value of JSON file, or null if array is empty.
 */
public function pop(string $dot = null): mixed;

Add the provided data to the end of the contents of a JSON file or a key within the file:

/**
 * @param mixed  $content The data that will be written to the file or a key within the file.
 * @param string $dot     The dot notation representing the key to be modified within the file.
 *
 * @throws GetFileException
 * @throws JsonErrorException
 * @throws NoIterableFileException
 * @throws NoIterableElementException
 *
 * @return mixed the content of the JSON file after the push operation.
 */
public function push(mixed $content, string $dot = null): array;

Remove and get the first element of a JSON file or a key within the file:

/**
 * @param string $dot The dot notation representing the key to be modified within the file.
 *
 * @throws GetFileException
 * @throws JsonErrorException
 * @throws NoIterableFileException
 * @throws NoIterableElementException
 *
 * @return mixed|null the shifted value, or null if array is empty.
 */
public function shift(string $dot = null): mixed(mixed $content, string $dot = null): array;

Remove a key and its value from the contents of a JSON file:

/**
 * @param string $dot       The dot notation representing the key to be modified within the file.
 * @param bool   $reindexed If true, the array will be re-indexed.
 *
 * @throws GetFileException
 * @throws JsonErrorException
 * @throws NoIterableFileException
 *
 * @return array the content of the JSON file after the unset operation.
 */
public function unset(string $dot, bool $reindexed = false): array;

Add the provided data to the beginning of the contents of a JSON file or a key within the file:

/**
 * @param mixed  $content The data that will be written to the file or a key within the file.
 * @param string $dot     The dot notation representing the key to be modified within the file.
 *
 * @throws GetFileException
 * @throws JsonErrorException
 * @throws NoIterableFileException
 * @throws NoIterableElementException
 *
 * @return mixed the content of the JSON file after the unshift operation.
 */
public function unshift(mixed $content, string $dot = null): mixed;
