Maybe introduce an optional second argument "decodetype" to json_decode() where you could pass on a constant like JSON_ARRAY or JSON_OBJECT? For example: $assoc_array = json_decode($json_string, JSON_ARRAY);
$object      = json_decode($json_string, JSON_OBJECT);
I'm not saying this is a bad idea but is it really necessary? It seems to just add extra complexity. If json_decode() returns an associative array then you can cast easily enough: $obj = (object)json_decode($jsonSerialized); Mike
