Can it be an option? I imagine that if json_validate(): JsonValidationResult always returns a JsonValidationResult which contains a `public readonly bool $valid and a public readonly ?string $error` it would be better than both options on the table right now. The option of returning CLI-like results means that we will need a if (! json_validate()) to treat a valid JSON (really awkward) and the option of using json_last_error() relies on an internal state instead of an immutable structure. Effectively, what we need is to return a complex structure which can contain a boolean and a string and that is a class/object. Thoughts? -- Marco Deleu
