Standard JSON format for PHP
Standard JSON format for PHP
I am storing data in JSON files with array of JSON objects.
Right Now I am doing like
[{"key1":"value1","key2":"value2"}]
Is this universally accepted. ? If so which Tech Lead company supports this format .
Okay ... let me correct that .. And thanks for opening the eyes of beginner

Do you have a reason for wrapping your main values in ? Are you intending to structure it as the following [{'key1':'value1','key2':'value2'.....},{'keyN':'valueN','keyN':'valueN'}.....] or similar? If not then using is pretty pointless.
[{'key1':'value1','key2':'value2'.....},{'keyN':'valueN','keyN':'valueN'}.....]
The reason is : I have read the file and store it in array and access each objects one by one ... Does it make sense here ???

So how I've described it then? If not then structuing it as -
{'object1': {'key1':'value1','key2':'value2'}, 'object2' {'key1':'value1','key2':'value2'}} Would probably work better for you.– Raffers

{'object1': {'key1':'value1','key2':'value2'}, 'object2' {'key1':'value1','key2':'value2'}}
If we follow this convention, is it possible to iterate over the objects. I think it's not possible @Raffers

Yes, it would be possible. You would first iterate over the array of the objects, then you would iterate over the values within the object. I assume you're passing to some JS?

JSON is universal data format. So it is supported. In your case, however, json is incorrect as it uses single quotes. Correct json uses double quotes. More info on json.org.
