During the interaction between the PHP backend and the client data, the JSON data is sometimes in an uncertain format. Sometimes it is an array, sometimes it is an object, which makes the client developer feel like it is about to collapse.
Therefore, it is the most important step for front-end and back-end related personnel to have a necessary understanding of the principle of PHP's json_encode function.
The array in PHP is a universal data structure. Unlike other languages that define many restrictive data types to describe the structure according to the required scenarios, it is difficult for PHP programmers to clearly explain to the client what is returned. Structured data.
It becomes a situation where the array data is obviously encoded into json through PHP, but the output value is sometimes an array and sometimes an object.

What is the solution?
It is a class that encapsulates the two data structures of Vector and Map through PHP. When constructing the json output structure, these two types are used for encapsulation and conversion to ensure the certainty of the structure.
The above introduces the understanding of object arrays, PHP JSON arrays and objects, including the content of object arrays. I hope it will be helpful to friends who are interested in PHP tutorials.
