JsonApiClient

JsonApiClient is a PHP Library to validate and handle the response body from a JSON API Server.

Format: JSON API 1.0

Attention

Version 0.6 and below interprets the pagination links wrong. Make sure you are using the latest version of JsonApiClient. See #19 and #23 for more information.

WIP: Goals for 1.0

• Be 100% JSON API 1.0 spec conform
• Handle/validate a server response body
• Offer an easy way to retrieve the data
• Be extendable and allow injection of classes/models
• Offer access to included resources through identifier
• Handle/validate a client request body

Install

Via Composer

$ composer require art4/json-api-client

Usage

See the documentation.

Using as reader

// The Response body from a JSON API server
$jsonapi_string = '{"meta":{"info":"Testing the JsonApiClient library."}}';

$manager = new \Art4\JsonApiClient\Utils\Manager();

$document = $manager->parse($jsonapi_string);

if ($document->has('meta.info'))
{
    echo $document->get('meta.info'); // "Testing the JsonApiClient library."
}

// List all keys
var_dump($document->getKeys());

// array(
//   0 => "meta"
// )

Using as validator

JsonApiClient can be used as a validator for JSON API contents:

$wrong_jsonapi = '{"data":{},"meta":{"info":"This is wrong JSON API. `data` has to be `null` or containing at least `type` and `id`."}}';

if ( \Art4\JsonApiClient\Utils\Helper::isValid($wrong_jsonapi) )
{
	echo 'string is valid.';
}
else
{
	echo 'string is invalid json api!';
}

// echos 'string is invalid json api!'

Extend the client

Need more functionality? Want to directly inject your model? Easily extend JsonApiClient with the Factory.
