JSON Lint
A PHP JSON parser and validator with detailed error messages and configurable parsing options.
What is JSON Lint?
JSON Lint for PHP is a JSON parsing and validation library that provides detailed, human-readable error messages when JSON parsing fails. It solves the problem of PHP's native `json_decode()` returning generic errors by offering precise diagnostics with line numbers and context.
PHP developers who need robust JSON validation with clear error reporting, particularly those building APIs, data processing pipelines, or tools that handle user-provided JSON.
Developers choose this library because it offers superior error diagnostics compared to native PHP functions, configurable parsing options for edge cases like duplicate keys and comments, and seamless integration as a fallback validator alongside `json_decode()`.
