11Function overview
12-----------------
13
14 string json_encode ( mixed value )
15
16json_encode returns a string containing the JSON representation of value.
17value can be any type except a resource.
18
19 mixed json_decode ( string json, [bool assoc] )
20
21json_decode takes a JSON string and converts it into a PHP variable.
22When assoc is given, and evaluates to TRUE, json_decode() will return
23any objects as associative arrays.
