FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Informations about the package compat

The Compat Package Build Status

Latest Stable Version Total Downloads Latest Unstable Version License

This is a simple package that contains forward compatibility classes and interfaces that are registered to the global namespace

Deprecated

The joomla/compat package has been deprecated. No further updates are planned.

JsonSerializable

JsonSerializable is a PHP 5.4 interface that allows you to specify what data to serialize to JSON when you json_encode an object that implements the interface.

Usage

Since this is a PHP 5.4 interface, the jsonSerialize() method does not get called automatically when json_encode-ing an instance of the class when used in 5.3. To work around this, simply call the jsonSerialize() method directly when passing it to json_encode. This is forward-compatible with PHP 5.4.

Note in some instances of PHP 5.5 from Debian the interface is also missing (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18239405/php-fatal-error-call-to-undefined-function-json-decode) which will also require this interface to be included.

Installation via Composer
