PHP Implementation of mholt/json-to-go

Composer

Why Do This in PHP?

Because it fits better into my personal workflow.

Also because why not.

Basic Usage

Once included in your project, the easiest way to use it is probably using the static initializers:

This will return to you an instance of a concrete implementation of AbstractType with your input parsed. If there was an issue during parsing, an exception will be thrown.

For a complete list of possible types, see here

This class implements __toString(), and the return value is the parsed GO object.

General Rules

• If a property name in an object is entirely comprised of numbers, it will be prefixed with Num
• If a property name in an object begins with a non-alphanumeric value, it will be prefixed with X
• If a property name in an object has a numerical first character, that character will be converted to a string following the map seen here. (e.g.: 80211X becomes Eight_0211X) You may optionally define your own map when initializing the Configuration class.
• If a type is not possible (is a NULL in the example json...), or if there is a value type conflict between keys within a map, the type will be defined as interface{}
• The names for things will always be Exported
• It is always a good idea to run the results through go fmt

Custom Configuration

There are a few possible options when parsing JSON, definable in the Configuration class:

• forceOmitEmpty - Will always place the json:,omitempty markup at the end of struct properties
• forceIntToFloat - Will convert all int types to float.
• useSimpleInt - Will, if using ints, use the simple int type rather than attempting to determine int32 vs int64
• forceScalarToPointer - Will turn all simple types (string, int, float, bool) into pointers
• emptyStructToInterface - Will convert an object without properties into an interface{}
• breakOutInlineStructs - Will create bespoke type definitions for nested objects
• sanitizeInput - Will override the values present in the example json (see here)
• initialNumberMap- Array to use for converting number characters to alpha characters at the beginning of struct
• callbacks - Instance of Callbacks or array of ['callback' => callable] where callback == name of parameter on Callbacks and callable == any valid php callable that accepts the parameters present in the function named the same as the property.

Map and RawMessage types

By default, the RawMessageType are never used. To take advantage of these types, you must implement your own goType that returns either map or raw respectively.

Examples:

Taking this example JSON payload (source):

And executing the following:

Will result in (pre go fmt):
