JsonPath utility (XPath for JSON) for PHP based on Stefan Goessner's implementation : http://code.google.com/p/jsonpath/
C php extension is in progress here, any help is welcome :)
What is JsonPath ? What is the syntax ? Take a look to Stefan Goessner's documentation
- That's simple ! Add this to your composer.json :
"require": {
"peekmo/jsonpath": "dev-master"
}
You just have to require the vendor/autoload.php (if not already) and add the following use :
use Peekmo\JsonPath\JsonStore;/!\ API Breaking Changes with new version !
Consider this json :
{
"store": {
"book": [
{
"category": "reference",
"author": "Nigel Rees",
"title": "Sayings of the Century",
"price": 8.95
},
{
"category": "fiction",
"author": "Evelyn Waugh",
"title": "Sword of Honour",
"price": 12.99
},
{
"category": "fiction",
"author": "Herman Melville",
"title": "Moby Dick",
"isbn": "0-553-21311-3",
"price": 8.99
},
{
"category": "fiction",
"author": "J. R. R. Tolkien",
"title": "The Lord of the Rings",
"isbn": "0-395-19395-8",
"price": 22.99
}
],
"bicycle": {
"color": "red",
"price": 19.95
}
}
}
- Transform your json into array (it works with object, but use an array for better performances)
- You can get values like this :
<?php
require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php'; // Autoload files using Composer autoload
use Peekmo\JsonPath\JsonStore;
$json = '...';
$store = new JsonStore($json);
// Returns an array with all categories from books which have an isbn attribute
$res = $store->get("$..book[?(@.isbn)].category");
$res = $store->get("$..book[?(@.isbn)].category", true); // You can set true to get only unique results
?>It returns an array, you can so use default functions on the result (Have unique key for example) From 1.1.0, it returns an empty array if the node does not exists
- You can change a value like this :
<?php
require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php'; // Autoload files using Composer autoload
use Peekmo\JsonPath\JsonStore;
$json = '...';
$store = new JsonStore($json);
// Change the value of the first book's category
$store->set("$..book[0].category", "superCategory");
echo $store->toString();
?>The value is passed by reference, so, when you are using a set, your object "$o" is modified. It returns a boolean to know if the node has been modified or not
- You can add a value like this :
<?php
require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php'; // Autoload files using Composer autoload
use Peekmo\JsonPath\JsonStore;
$json = '...';
$store = new JsonStore($json);
// Add a new value in first book's array "key":"value"
$store->add("$..book[0]", "value", "key");
echo $store->toString();
?>The parameter "key" is optional, a number will be set if you're not providing one. It returns a boolean to know if the node has been modified or not
- You can remove an attribute like this :
<?php
require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php'; // Autoload files using Composer autoload
use Peekmo\JsonPath\JsonStore;
$json = '...';
$store = new JsonStore($json);
// Removes the attribute "category" from all books
$store->remove("$..book.*.category");
echo $store->toString();
