Usage

This library provides Json::decode() and Json::encode() implementations throwing \JsonException on errors.

To use this library:

• install the library by using composer: composer require pnz/json-exception
• replace the usage of json_decode() with Json::decode()
• replace the usage of json_encode() with Json::encode()
• catch the \JsonException eventually thrown by the functions

Example: Old code

 $data = json_decode($jsonString, ...);
 if (ERROR_NONE !== json_last_error()) {
     // handle the error: thown a custom exception, or return
     // $error = json_last_error_msg();
     // $errorCode = json_last_error();
 }

new code:

try {
    $data = Json::decode($jsonString, ...);
} catch(\JsonException $e) {
   // Handle the exception
}
