🧩 JSON Parser

Zero-dependencies pull parser to read large JSON from any source in a memory-efficient way.

📦 Install

Via Composer:

composer require cerbero/json-parser

🔮 Usage

• Sources

JSON Parser provides a minimal API to read large JSON from any source:

use Cerbero\JsonParser\JsonParser;

// the JSON source in this example is an API endpoint
$source = 'https://randomuser.me/api/1.4?seed=json-parser&results=5';

foreach (new JsonParser($source) as $key => $value) {
    // instead of loading the whole JSON, we keep in memory only one key and value at a time
}

Depending on our taste, we can instantiate the parser in 3 different ways:

use Cerbero\JsonParser\JsonParser;

// classic object instantiation
new JsonParser($source);

// static instantiation, facilitates methods chaining
JsonParser::parse($source);

// namespaced function
use function Cerbero\JsonParser\parseJson;

parseJson($source);

Sources

A wide range of JSON sources is supported, here is the full list:

• strings, e.g. {"foo":"bar"}
• iterables, i.e. arrays or instances of Traversable
• files, e.g. /path/to/large_file.json
• resources, e.g. streams
• API endpoint URLs, e.g. https://endpoint.json or any instance of Psr\Http\Message\UriInterface
• PSR-7 compliant requests, i.e. any instance of Psr\Http\Message\RequestInterface
• PSR-7 compliant messages, i.e. any instance of Psr\Http\Message\MessageInterface
• PSR-7 compliant streams, i.e. any instance of Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface
• responses from the Laravel HTTP client, i.e. any instance of Illuminate\Http\Client\Response
• user-defined sources, i.e. any instance of Cerbero\JsonParser\Sources\Source
