PHP's json_encode in JavaScript
Here’s what our current JavaScript equivalent to PHP's json_encode looks like.
1 | undefined |
How to use
You you can install via npm install locutus and
require it via require('locutus/php/json/json_encode').
You could also require the json module in full
so that you could access json.json_encode instead.
If you intend to target the browser, you can then use a module bundler such as Browserify, webpack or rollup.js.
ES5/ES6
This function targets ES5, but as of Locutus 2.0.2 we also support ES6 functions. Locutus transpiles to ES5 before publishing to npm.
A community effort
Not unlike Wikipedia, Locutus is an ongoing community effort. Our philosophy follows The McDonald’s Theory. This means that we don't consider it to be a bad thing that many of our functions are first iterations, which may still have their fair share of issues. We hope that these flaws will inspire others to come up with better ideas.
This way of working also means that we don't offer any production guarantees, and recommend to use Locutus inspiration and learning purposes only.
Examples
Please note that these examples are distilled from test cases that automatically verify our functions still work correctly. This could explain some quirky ones.
