To install json2php you could clone the project from GitHub or use NPM to install it.

``bash
npm install json2php
`

$3

Convert JavaScript object/array/string/number/bigint/boolean/Date to string that is the corresponding PHP representation.

#### String

When the content is just a string the output will be the same string.

`javascript
s = json2php('Hello World!')
// => s = 'Hello World!'
`

#### Number & BigInt

Number and BigInt types are the same.

`javascript
s = json2php(123)
// => s = '123'
b = json2php(BigInt(123))
// => b = '123'
`

#### Boolean

`javascript
s = json2php( true )
// => s = 'true'
`

#### Undefined/Null

null and undefined are returned as null

`javascript
s = json2php(undefined)
// => s = 'null'
`

#### Symbol/Function

Symbol and Function are returned as null

`javascript
s = json2php(Symbol(test))
// => s = 'null'
f = json2php(function greet(name) { return Hello, ${name}!; })
// => f = 'null'
`

#### Date

Dates are formatted to string using toISOString method

`javascript
s = json2php(new Date('2020-06-19 18:20:34')))
// => s = '2020-06-19T15:20:34.000Z'
`

#### Array

`javascript
s = json2php([1, 2, 3])
// => s = 'array(1, 2, 3)'
`

#### Object

`javascript
s = json2php({a: 1, b: 2, c: 'text', false: true, undefined: null})
// => s = "array('a' => 1, 'b' => 2, 'c' => 'text', 'false': true, 'undefined': null)"
`

#### Non-valid JSON

`javascript
s = json2php(new Date())
// => s = "null"
`

Create custom 'printers' with json2php.make:

`javascript
const printer = json2php.make({linebreak:'\n', indent:'\t', shortArraySyntax: true})
printer({one: 3, two: 20, three: [9, 3, 2]})

/* result:
[
'one' => 3,
'two' => 20,
'set' => [
9,
3,
2
]
]
*/
`

To compress the output (e.g. to make the resulting PHP as small as possible), use shortArraySyntax with stripSpaces:

`javascript
const printer = json2php.make({shortArraySyntax: true, stripSpaces: true})
printer({
arr: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, {foo: 'surprise!'}],
obj: {
arr: [{foo: 'bar', bar: 'baz', arr2: [1, 2]}]
}
})

// result:
// ['arr'=>[1,2,3,4,5,['foo'=>'surprise!']],'obj'=>['arr'=>[['foo'=>'bar','bar'=>'baz','arr2'=>[1,2]]]],'test'=>'str']
`
