Re: RFC Idea - is_json - looking for feedback

I think the arguments are good enough for the RFC. However, I would like to propose using a different API. Instead of creating a new global function that could conflict with existing applications, use filter_var validations since it is basically a validation. You can do something like filter_var($possibleJSON, FILTER_VALIDATE_JSON). Over time, if there is a need for extra parameters you can still use the filter_var flags or options (3rd parameter) to indicate if you want just JSON Object, JSON Array, JSON scalar, etc. Juan Basso On Sun, Jul 31, 2022 at 3:46 PM juan carlos morales < dev.juan.morales@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Juan, > > > > Thanks for your efforts, and examples. > > > > You are solving a common use case, in frameworks, libs, and general > > userland. > > > > This much needed function will see good perf/memory improvements once > > adoption of is_json() hits popular libs and frameworks. > > > > I will be voting in favor of this addition, subject to reviewing the > > implementation and full RFC. > > > > Thanks for the effort.
