Simple PHP Parser Library for API Development, parse a post http payload into a php array.
Begin by installing this package through Composer. Edit your project's composer.json file to require Nathanmac/Parser.
"require": {
"Nathanmac/Parser": "3.*"
}
Next, update Composer from the Terminal:
composer update
If you are a Laravel user, then there is a service provider that you can make use of to automatically prepare the bindings and such.
Include the service provider within app/config/app.php.
'providers' => [
'...',
'Nathanmac\Utilities\Parser\ParserServiceProvider'
];And, for convenience, add a facade alias to this same file at the bottom:
'aliases' => [
'...',
'Parser' => 'Nathanmac\Utilities\Parser\Facades\Parser',
];If you are a Lumen user, then there is a service provider that you can make use of to automatically prepare the binding and such.

$parsed = $parser->bson('BSON DATA HERE');You can make your own custom parsers/formatters by implementing FormatInterface, the below example demostrates the use of a custom parser/formatter.
use Nathanmac\Utilities\Parser\Formats\FormatInterface;
/**
* Custom Formatter
*/
class CustomFormatter implements FormatInterface {
/**
* Parse Payload Data
*
* @param string $payload
*
* @return array
*
* @throws ParserException
*/
public function parse($payload)
{
$payload; // Raw payload data
$output = // Process raw payload data to array
return $output; // return array parsed data
}
}use Acme\Formatters\CustomFormatter;
$parser = new Parser();
$parsed = $parser->parse('RAW PAYLOAD DATA', new CustomFormatter());To test the library itself, run the PHPUnit tests:
