How to convert JSON to PHP?
Fill in the JSON editor, and it will be directly converted into PHP code.
Optionally, you can choose between associative arrays and objects.
Why convert JSON to PHP?
PHP is one of the most widely used programming languages, even though its reputation is sometimes debated (just envy, really ^^). However, it enables writing clean, fast, and maintainable code—yes, it’s possible! PHP arrays and objects are fundamental tools for storing and manipulating datasets. With a wide range of built-in functions, working with these structures becomes quick and easy.
JSON, on the other hand, is a universally popular format due to its human readability and its ability to represent objects, arrays, numbers, strings, booleans, and null values. It is often preferred over XML (though XML is still hanging around!). However, in a PHP project, it’s often necessary to convert JSON data to integrate it efficiently into the code.
PHP already provides the json_decode function to convert JSON into an array or object. Still, it can be even more convenient to have the equivalent PHP code directly, without requiring additional processing—for performance reasons or better visibility.
