Note that while the JsonSerializable interface enables you to serialize an object to a JSON
string-representation using json_encode(), there is currently no counterpart for de-serialization.
Also note that, by default, the class-name of the serialized object isn't stored, so
technically there would be no way to de-serialize an object-graph from a string-representation.
Although you could of course store the class-name by returning it via the JsonSerializable
interface, that still does not provide a mechanism for de-serialization.
I wrote the following class, which performs serialization and de-serialization in JSON format, by
storing the class-name in a reserved '#type' property in JSON objects:

This does have some limitations, which are discussed here:
