Usage

$data = array('foo' => 'bar');
echo Future\Json::encode($data, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
echo Future\Json::encode($data, JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK);
echo Future\Json::encode($data, JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES);
echo Future\Json::encode($data, JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE);
echo Future\Json::encode($data, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT | JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE);
echo Future\Json::encode($data, null, 4);

Shortcut

If you dont like Namespace\Classname::staticMethod call, you can use shortcuts.

future_json_encode($data, JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE, 10);

Testing

If current version PHP allow to use features described above, then encoder will pass all arguments to native function instead.

Directory tests/ contains json files that were generated using native function in PHP 5.5.6.

You can run the unit tests just to be sure that you will get exactly the same result regardless of your system:

$ composer install --dev
$ vendor/bin/phpunit tests/
