Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=79485&edit=1 ID: 79485 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: p dot szymkowski at lottestyle dot de Summary: Minor version update changed how json_encode serialzies SimpleXMLElement Status: Open Type: Documentation Problem Package: JSON related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 7.3.17 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: That change is not specific to json_encode, but rather caused by the more general fix for bug #61597. We usually do not document bug fixes. Anyhow, I wonder why you would expect json_encode() to strip the attribute of the element?
