jsonToObject

jsonToObject

Safely converts a valid JSON string into a native PHP object.

Usage

jsonToObject(string $json): array|object

Parameters

json (string) : The JSON string to decode and convert into an object.

Return Value

(array|object) : Returns a PHP object (or array depending on the structure) on success. : Returns an empty array ([]) if the JSON string is malformed or decodes into a non-array scalar value.

📌 Chains jsonToArray and arrayToObject to safely handle invalid JSON payloads without throwing uncaught exceptions.

Examples

$cphp->jsonToObject('{"id":10,"user":"name","active":true}');
// Result: ([id] => 10, [user] => "name", [active] => 1)

$cphp->jsonToObject('{bad_json}');
// Result: [] (Logs a warning)

Debug Errors

• Triggers a warning via underlying jsonToArray if there was an issue decoding the JSON.
