	'msg'    => 'true str',
	'null'   => null,
	'new'    => '',
	'double' => 1.0,
);
// serialize
// js
echo jsonlite_encode($value);
// {code:123,msg:"true str","null":0,"new":"",double:1}

// min
echo jsonlite_encode($value, JSONLITE_MODE_MIN);
// {code:123,msg:true str,"null":,new:,double:1}

// strict
echo jsonlite_encode($value, JSONLITE_MODE_STRICT);
// {code:"123",msg:true str,"null":null,new:,double:1.0}


// unserialize
$jsonlite = '{code:123,msg:true str,"null":null,new:,double:1}';
$value = jsonlite_decode($jsonlite);
var_export($value);
/**
 * array (
 *     'code' => 123,
 *     'msg' => 'true str',
 *     'null' => NULL,

// work with json
$value = array(

	'msg'    => 'true str',
	'null'   => null,
	'new'    => '',
	'double' => 1.0,
);

$json = json_encode($value); // ATTENTION:encode with json
// {"code":"123","msg":"true str","null":null,"new":"","double":1}
$value = jsonlite_decode($json);
var_export($value);
/**
