## Better Convert to and from JSON format in PHP (json encode, json decode)

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange
format. It is easy for humans to read and write. It is easy for machines
to parse and generate. It is based on a subset of the JavaScript
Programming Language, Standard ECMA-262 3rd Edition - December 1999.
This feature can also be found in Python. JSON is a text format that is
completely language independent but uses conventions that are familiar
to programmers of the C-family of languages, including C, C++, C#, Java,
JavaScript, Perl, TCL, and many others. These properties make JSON an
ideal data-interchange language.

This package provides a simple encoder and decoder for JSON notation. It
is intended for use with client-side Javascript applications that make
use of HTTPRequest to perform server communication functions - data can
be encoded into JSON notation for use in a client-side javascript, or
decoded from incoming Javascript requests. JSON format is native to
Javascript, and can be directly eval()'ed with no further parsing
overhead

#### All strings should be in ASCII or UTF-8 format!

### Brief example of use:

```php
// create a new instance of Services_JSON
$json = new Services_JSON();

// convert a complexe value to JSON notation, and send it to the browser
$value = array('foo', 'bar', array(1, 2, 'baz'), array(3, array(4)));
$output = $json->encode($value);

print($output);
// prints: ["foo","bar",[1,2,"baz"],[3,[4]]]

// accept incoming POST data, assumed to be in JSON notation
$input = file_get_contents('php://input', 1000000);
$value = $json->decode($input);

// if you want to convert json to php arrays:
$json = new Services_JSON(SERVICES_JSON_LOOSE_TYPE);
```
