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 weasel

PHP Weasel

Build Status

Weasel is an object marshalling library for PHP supporting JSON and XML. Marshalling is, by default, configured using “annotations”, driven by the Doctrine\Common\Annotation library.

It also includes its own Annotation library, Weasel\Annotation, but this is considered deprecated in favour of using Doctrine.

The latest version can be found here: https://github.com/moodev/php-weasel

The documentation can be found here: https://github.com/moodev/php-weasel/wiki

Installation

If you can, use composer. If you can't, you'll find the list of dependencies in composer.json.

Usage

Annotate the classes you want to serialize/deserialize (see the documentation.)

Then:

Why?

json_decode() decodes to arrays or stdObj. Weasel, while making use of json_decode() internally, maps to objects; it's basically a configuration driven Object Mapper for JSON.

Meanwhile, json_encode() gives you no fine grained control over how your data gets serialized to JSON. You can't disable marshalling of fields, you can't add typing information without adding it to your classes, and, most annoyingly, you don't have any control over how array() gets mapped on a field-by-field basis. Weasel allows you to configure how fields are marshalled on a per-field level: if you've got an array that should always be mapped as a JSON object, while other arrays need to be mapped as an array, you can have just that.

The XmlMarshaller just seemed like a good idea at the time. It probably wasn't. It's incomplete and unloved. As soon as I find a better approach to the problem, it'll be deprecated.

This project spawned from work on moo-php, a client library for the moo.com API. After writing serialization/deserialization code that was specific to that object structure, I realised that a general purpose, configurable marshaller, similar to Jackson in the Java world, would be rather useful. Weasel is the result.
