JavaScript Object Notation (JSON)¶
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.
<?php
$array = array('a' => 1, 'b' => "c", 'c' => [3, 4], 'd' => new stdclass());
echo json_encode($arr);
// displays {"a":1,"b":"c","c":[3,4],"d":{}}
?>
