Informations about the package nbt
NBT to PHP
NBT to PHP allows you to convert NBT data to PHP data types to easily use within a PHP program.
Introduction
Since this program converts the NBT data to native PHP data types, there is currently no way to convert the data back to NBT data since PHP has fewer data types than NBT.
An advantage is having no PHP to NBT converter is this library is very lightweight and works very well in applications where read-only functionality is needed, like reading from an API or file.
An advantage of the approach of converting to PHP data types is that it is very easy to display and read the output using print_r.
