Great work! Does the data structure need to be a full array or can it also work on json_decode with array argument set to false? The name JSONPath obviously refers to the expression as second argument, but its slightly confusing that you put an array into it not a json string. But that makes it more powerful :) As for the classname JSONPath, you could look into namespacing it as per the rules described in https://wiki.php.net/rfc/namespaces_in_bundled_extensions > Best regards, > Viktor > > -- > PECL development discussion Mailing List (https://pecl.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: https://www.php.net/unsub.php > >
