PHP 8.4.2 Released!

JsonSerializable::jsonSerialize

(PHP 5 >= 5.4.0, PHP 7, PHP 8)

JsonSerializable::jsonSerializeEspecifica os dados que devem ser serializados para JSON

Descrição

public JsonSerializable::jsonSerialize(): mixed

Serializa o objeto para um valor que pode ser serializado nativamente por json_encode().

Parâmetros

Esta função não possui parâmetros.

Valor Retornado

Retorna dados que podem ser serializados por json_encode(), que é um valor de qualquer tipo que não seja um resource.

Exemplos

Exemplo #1 Exemplo de JsonSerializable::jsonSerialize() retornando um array

<?php
class ArrayValue implements JsonSerializable {
private
$array;
public function
__construct(array $array) {
$this->array = $array;
}

public function
jsonSerialize(): mixed {
return
$this->array;
}
}

$array = [1, 2, 3];
echo
json_encode(new ArrayValue($array), JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
?>

O exemplo acima produzirá:

[
    1,
    2,
    3
]

Exemplo #2 Exemplo de JsonSerializable::jsonSerialize() retornando um array associativo

<?php
class ArrayValue implements JsonSerializable {
private
$array;
public function
__construct(array $array) {
$this->array = $array;
}

public function
jsonSerialize(): mixed {
return
$this->array;
}
}

$array = ['foo' => 'bar', 'quux' => 'baz'];
echo
json_encode(new ArrayValue($array), JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
?>

O exemplo acima produzirá:

{
    "foo": "bar",
    "quux": "baz"
}

Exemplo #3 Exemplo de JsonSerializable::jsonSerialize() retornando um int

<?php
class IntegerValue implements JsonSerializable {
private
$number;
public function
__construct($number) {
$this->number = (int) $number;
}

public function
jsonSerialize(): mixed {
return
$this->number;
}
}

echo
json_encode(new IntegerValue(1), JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
?>

O exemplo acima produzirá:

1

Exemplo #4 Exemplo de JsonSerializable::jsonSerialize() retornando uma string

<?php
class StringValue implements JsonSerializable {
private
$string;
public function
__construct($string) {
$this->string = (string) $string;
}

public function
jsonSerialize(): mixed {
return
$this->string;
}
}

echo
json_encode(new StringValue('Hello!'), JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
?>

O exemplo acima produzirá:

"Hello!"

A good example on when you would use functionality like this is when working with objects.

json_encode() will take a DateTime and convert it to:

{
"date":"2013-01-31 11:14:05",
"timezone_type":3,
"timezone":"America\/Los_Angeles"
}

This is great when working with PHP, but if the Date is being read by Java. The Java date parser doesn't know what to do with that. But it does know what to do with the ISO8601 format...

<?php

date_default_timezone_set
('America/Los_Angeles');

class
Fruit implements JsonSerializable {
public
$type = 'Apple',
$lastEaten = null;

public function
__construct() {
$this->lastEaten = new DateTime();
}

public function
jsonSerialize() {
return [
'type' => $this->type,
'lastEaten' => $this->lastEaten->format(DateTime::ISO8601)
];
}
}
echo
json_encode(new Fruit()); //which outputs: {"type":"Apple","lastEaten":"2013-01-31T11:17:07-0500"}

?>

Nested json serializable objects will be serialized recursively. No need to call ->jsonSerialize() on your own. It is especially useful in collections.

<?php

class NestedSerializable implements \JsonSerializable
{

private
$serializable;

public function
__construct($serializable)
{
$this->serializable = $serializable;
}

public function
jsonSerialize()
{
return [
'serialized' => $this->serializable
];
}

}

class
SerializableCollection implements \JsonSerializable {

private
$elements;

public function
__construct(array $elements)
{
$this->elements = $elements;
}

public function
jsonSerialize()
{
return
$this->elements;
}

}

// Outputs: [{"serialized":null},{"serialized":null},{"serialized":{"serialized":null}}]
echo json_encode(
new
SerializableCollection([
new
NestedSerializable(null),
new
NestedSerializable(null),
new
NestedSerializable(new NestedSerializable(null))
])
);

?>

Here's a small test/proof that makes it easy to see some comparative results. Null was the one I was interested in since it was not documented:

<?php
class jsontest implements JsonSerializable {
function
__construct($value) { $this->value = $value; }
function
jsonSerialize() { return $this->value; }
}

print
"Null -> " . json_encode(new jsontest(null)) . "\n";
print
"Array -> " . json_encode(new jsontest(Array(1,2,3))) . "\n";
print
"Assoc. -> " . json_encode(new jsontest(Array('a'=>1,'b'=>3,'c'=>4))) . "\n";
print
"Int -> " . json_encode(new jsontest(5)) . "\n";
print
"String -> " . json_encode(new jsontest('Hello, World!')) . "\n";
print
"Object -> " . json_encode(new jsontest((object) Array('a'=>1,'b'=>3,'c'=>4))) . "\n";
?>

Output is:
Null -> null
Array -> [1,2,3]
Assoc. -> {"a":1,"b":3,"c":4}
Int -> 5
String -> "Hello, World!"
Object -> {"a":1,"b":3,"c":4}

simonsimcity at gmail dot com is wrong, you can throw exceptions in this but it will wrap with another exception so his example outputs

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'RuntimeException' with message 'It failed!' in -:8
Stack trace:
#0 [internal function]: Foo->jsonSerialize()
#1 -(16): json_encode(Object(Foo))
#2 {main}

Next exception 'Exception' with message 'Failed calling Foo::jsonSerialize()' in -:16
Stack trace:
#0 -(0): json_encode()
#1 {main}
thrown in - on line 16
