Download the PHP package mtdowling/jmespath.php without Composer

On this page you can find all versions of the php package mtdowling/jmespath.php. It is possible to download/install these versions without Composer. Possible dependencies are resolved automatically.

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.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Informations about the package jmespath.php


jmespath.php

JMESPath (pronounced "jaymz path") allows you to declaratively specify how to extract elements from a JSON document. jmespath.php allows you to use JMESPath in PHP applications with PHP data structures. It requires PHP 7.2.5 or greater and can be installed through Composer using the mtdowling/jmespath.php package.

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$expression = 'foo.*.baz';

$data = [
    'foo' => [
        'bar' => ['baz' => 1],
        'bam' => ['baz' => 2],
        'boo' => ['baz' => 3]
    ]
];

JmesPath\search($expression, $data);
// Returns: [1, 2, 3]

PHP Usage

The JmesPath\search function can be used in most cases when using the library. This function utilizes a JMESPath runtime based on your environment. The runtime utilized can be configured using environment variables and may at some point in the future automatically utilize a C extension if available.

$result = JmesPath\search($expression, $data);

// or, if you require PSR-4 compliance.
$result = JmesPath\Env::search($expression, $data);

Runtimes

jmespath.php utilizes runtimes. There are currently two runtimes: AstRuntime and CompilerRuntime.

AstRuntime is utilized by JmesPath\search() and JmesPath\Env::search() by default.

AstRuntime

The AstRuntime will parse an expression, cache the resulting AST in memory, and interpret the AST using an external tree visitor. AstRuntime provides a good general approach for interpreting JMESPath expressions that have a low to moderate level of reuse.

$runtime = new JmesPath\AstRuntime();
$runtime('foo.bar', ['foo' => ['bar' => 'baz']]);
// > 'baz'

CompilerRuntime

JmesPath\CompilerRuntime provides the most performance for applications that have a moderate to high level of reuse of JMESPath expressions. The CompilerRuntime will walk a JMESPath AST and emit PHP source code, resulting in anywhere from 7x to 60x speed improvements.

Compiling JMESPath expressions to source code is a slower process than just walking and interpreting a JMESPath AST (via the AstRuntime). However, running the compiled JMESPath code results in much better performance than walking an AST. This essentially means that there is a warm-up period when using the CompilerRuntime, but after the warm-up period, it will provide much better performance.

Use the CompilerRuntime if you know that you will be executing JMESPath expressions more than once or if you can pre-compile JMESPath expressions before executing them (for example, server-side applications).

// Note: The cache directory argument is optional.
$runtime = new JmesPath\CompilerRuntime('/path/to/compile/folder');
$runtime('foo.bar', ['foo' => ['bar' => 'baz']]);
// > 'baz'

Environment Variables

You can utilize the CompilerRuntime in JmesPath\search() by setting the JP_PHP_COMPILE environment variable to "on" or to a directory on disk used to store cached expressions.

Testing

A comprehensive list of test cases can be found at https://github.com/jmespath/jmespath.php/tree/master/tests/compliance. These compliance tests are utilized by jmespath.php to ensure consistency with other implementations, and can serve as examples of the language.

jmespath.php is tested using PHPUnit. In order to run the tests, you need to first install the dependencies using Composer as described in the Installation section. Next you just need to run the tests via make:

make test

You can run a suite of performance tests as well:

make perf
