How to collect an object from JSON in PHP?

Question

PHP

Hello.
There is json, for example: It is {"name":"Jack.M","birthDate":"12.12.1991"}
necessary to collect an object of the JsonPerson class from it.
So far, only a simple constructor and implementation in it are on my mind.

class JsonPerson
{
    public $name;
    public $birthDate;

    public function __construct($json)
    {
        // realization
    }
}

It would be desirable the interface for all this business. But the interface is only for serialization.
JsonSerializable:: jsonSerialize
Who will advise what options?

Answer 1

json_encode to do from the object initially, then the structure and class should be preserved.
Well, either in the class createFromJson method to do, in it json_decode and filling the object with data.
There seems to be no magical third option.

Answer 2

You need jms/serializer. symfony.com/doc/current/components/serializer.html
