For users of php 5.1.6 or lower, a native json_encode function. This version handles objects, and makes proper distinction between [lists] and {associative arrays}, mixed arrays work as well. It can handle newlines and quotes in both keys and data. This function will convert non-ascii symbols to "\uXXXX" format as does json_encode. Besides that, it outputs exactly the same string as json_encode. Including UTF-8 encoded 2-, 3- and 4-byte characters. It is a bit faster than PEAR/JSON::encode, but still slow compared to php 5.3's json_encode. It encodes any variable type exactly as the original. Relative speeds: PHP json_encode: 1x __json_encode: 31x PEAR/JSON: 46x NOTE: I assume the input will be valid UTF-8. I don't know what happens if your data contains illegal Unicode sequences. I tried to make the code fast and compact. <?php function __json_encode( $data ) { if( is_array($data) || is_object($data) ) { $islist = is_array($data) && ( empty($data) || array_keys($data) === range(0,count($data)-1) ); if( $islist ) { $json = '[' . implode(',', array_map('__json_encode', $data) ) . ']'; } else { $items = Array(); foreach( $data as $key => $value ) { $items[] = __json_encode("$key") . ':' . __json_encode($value); } $json = '{' . implode(',', $items) .

On versions prior to php 5.2.5, all 'f' characters are escaped to '\f'. This is because addcslashes in php < 5.2 doesn't understand \f as 'formfeed'."] --was-- For users of php 5.1.6 or lower, a native json_encode function.
