README

Rison is a compact data format optimized for URIs, a slight variation of JSON.

JSON:

{"a":0,"b":"foo","c":"23skidoo"}

URI-encoded JSON:

%7B%22a%22:0,%22b%22%3A%22foo%22%2C%22c%22%3A%2223skidoo%22%7D

Rison:

(a:0,b:foo,c:'23skidoo')

URI-encoded Rison:

(a:0,b:foo,c:'23skidoo')

See http://mjtemplate.org/examples/rison.html for more information and other implementations.

Usage

Procedural/convenience wrapper

require_once 'Rison/rison_functions.php';

$data = array('foo', 'bar' => array('baz'));

// encoding
$rison = Kunststube\Rison\rison_encode($data);
var_dump($rison);

// decoding
$data = Kunststube\Rison\rison_decode($rison);
var_dump($data);

Object oriented

require_once 'Rison/RisonEncoder.php';
require_once 'Rison/RisonDecoder.php';

use Kunststube\Rison;

$data = array('foo', 'bar' => array('baz'));

// encoding
try {
    $encoder = new Rison\RisonEncoder($data);
    $rison   = $encoder->encode();
    var_dump($rison);
} catch (InvalidArgumentException $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}

// decoding
try {
    $decoder = new Rison\RisonDecoder($rison);
    $data    = $decoder->decode();
    var_dump($data);
} catch (Rison\RisonParseErrorException $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage(), ' in string: ', $e->getRison();
} catch (InvalidArgumentException $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}
