## 0.5.0

### New features
- Introduced `FileChunks` class. Takes care of the proper resource management when iterating via `JsonMachine::fromFile()`.
It is used internally, and you probably won't come across it.
- New `ErrorWrappingDecoder`. Use it when you want to skip malformed JSON items. See [Decoders](README.md#decoders).

### BC breaks
- `StreamBytes` and `StringBytes` renamed to `StreamChunks` and `StringChunks`.
These are internal classes, and you probably won't notice the change
unless you use them directly for some reason.

## 0.4.0
### New features
- [Decoders](README.md#decoders)
- PHP 8 support (thanks @snapshotpl)
### BC breaks
- `ext-json` is not required in `composer.json` anymore, because custom decoder might not need it.
However **built-in decoders depend on it** so it must be present if you use them.
- All exceptions now extend `JsonMachineException` (thanks @gabimem)
- Throws `UnexpectedEndSyntaxErrorException` on an unexpected end of JSON structure (thanks @gabimem)
- Function `httpClientChunks()` is **deprecated** so that compatibility with Symfony HttpClient
is not on the shoulders of JSON Machine maintainer. The code is simple and everyone can make their own
function and maintain it. The code was moved to [examples](src/examples/symfonyHttpClient.php).
- Function `objects()` is **deprecated**. The way `objects()` works is that it casts decoded arrays
to objects. It brings some unnecessary overhead and risks on huge datasets.
Alternative is to use `ExtJsonDecoder` which decodes items as objects by default (same as `json_decode`).
```php
<?php

use JsonMachine\JsonDecoder\ExtJsonDecoder;
use JsonMachine\JsonMachine;

$jsonMachine = JsonMachine::fromFile('path/to.json', '', new ExtJsonDecoder);
```
Therefore no additional casting is required.
- Invalid json object keys will now throw and won't be ignored anymore.
### Fixed bugs
- Decoding of json object keys checks for errors and does not silently ignore them.
