# PHP JZON #

This is a small PHP library for parsing JZON documents.

This library has a pure PHP implementation and a *much* faster C version implemented as an extension. If the C extension is missing it gracefully fallbacks to the PHP implementation.

## What is JZON? ##

JZON is a *superset* of JSON which is designed to be actively edited by *humans*.

PHP JZON features:

* no need to worry about trailing commas

* one line comments starting with #

* simple array keys don't need to be quoted with ""

* parsing errors are shown in a friendly manner

### Quick Example ###

Say, you have the following JZON file example.json:

```
#!json

["foo",
"bar",
{meaning_of_life: 42,
#NOTE: no comma ahead
# and yes comments are supported!
hey: "bar"
"thatscool": 1
}
]

```

Now you can parse it this way:

```
#!php

string(3) "foo"
[1]=>
string(3) "bar"
[2]=>
array(3) {
["thatscool"]=>
int(1)
["meaning_of_life"]=>
int(42)
["hey"]=>
string(3) "bar"
}
}
```

## How do I get set up? ##

### PHP only version ###

* Clone the repo

* Include **jzon.inc.php** and use **jzon_parse($str)** function

### C extension(recommended) ###

* Clone the repo

* Follow the standard PHP extension installation procedure: **phpize && ./configure && make && make install**

* Add **"extension=jzon.so"** line to your php.ini

* Include **jzon.inc.php** and use **jzon_parse($str)** function

C extension is based on a bit modified code from https://github.com/KarlZylinski/jzon-c repository.
