Working with Pimf_Util_Json

Json

In PHP we have some nifty functions named json_encode() and json_decode() and PIMF makes great use of these. Why? Because JSON is very easy to read and convenient for storing arrays and objects with values as strings.

Encode

$json = \Pimf\Util\Json::encode($item);

Decode

$item = \Pimf\Util\Json::decode($json);

What can I put into JSON?

You can use any of the following data types in your JSON:

• Double
• Float
• String
• Boolean
• Array
• Object
• Null
