It wraps the conversion process to enable downstream JSON decoders (like the standard json module or ujson) to parse the data, exploiting the fact that optimized JSON parsers are significantly faster than general PHP deserialization libraries.\n\nThe package is intended for one specific use case: migrating large volumes of PHP-serialized data where performance matters. It has no runtime dependencies and operates as a thin translation layer. The library explicitly does not support PHP objects, has undefined behavior with unicode strings, and requires input array keys to be strings or easily convertible to strings.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last commit 2022-07-05, no updates since first release in 2017), has minimal adoption (2 stars), and only supports Python 2.7 and 3.6\u2014both end-of-life versions. Unless you are maintaining legacy code tied to those exact versions and have no alternative, use a maintained PHP deserialization library or handle the conversion outside Python."},"id":"php2json","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/php2json","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/php2json.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/php2json/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2017-10-17","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"php2json","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Convert PHP serializer strings to JSON"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":111816,"position":12396,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.2"}
