How to Convert JSON to PHP Classes - Step by Step Guide

Step 1

Input Your JSON Data

Start by adding your JSON data that needs to be converted to PHP classes. The tool analyzes the structure to generate appropriate classes with properties and methods.

Example: Try This JSON Data

Copy and paste this JSON example to see how it works: 🐘

{
  "userId": 12345,
  "username": "phpdev",
  "email": "dev@laravel.com",
  "isActive": true,
  "preferences": [
    "email_notifications",
    "newsletter",
    "api_access"
  ],
  "profile": {
    "firstName": "Laravel",
    "lastName": "Developer",
    "age": 28,
    "country": "USA"
  }
}
Step 2

Configure PHP Options

Customize how your JSON is converted to PHP classes! ⚙️ Choose class names and method generation options.

•
Getters and Setters: Generate getter and setter methods for clean property access
•
Constructor: Automatic constructor with data initialization from arrays
•
JSON methods: Built-in toArray() and toJson() methods for serialization
•
Nested classes: Handle complex JSON hierarchies with nested PHP classes
Step 3

Get Generated PHP Code

Watch the transformation! ✨ Your JSON structure becomes clean, object-oriented PHP classes ready for web development.

PHP Code Output

Your JSON becomes these PHP classes:

<?php

class Profile {
    private $firstName;
    private $lastName;
    private $age;
    private $country;

    public function __construct($data = []) {
        foreach ($data as $key => $value) {
            if (property_exists($this, $key)) {
                $this->$key = $value;
            }
        }
    }

    public function getFirstName() {
        return $this->firstName;
    }

    public function toJson() {
        return json_encode($this->toArray());
    }
}
Step 4

Copy or Download PHP Code

Perfect! Now you can use your PHP classes in your web applications for JSON processing. 🚀

•
Copy to clipboard for immediate use in your PHP projects
•
Download .php files for integration into your web application
•
Use with frameworks like Laravel, Symfony, and CodeIgniter
•
Web applications and REST APIs

What is JSON to PHP Conversion? 🐘

JSON to PHP conversion transforms JSON data structures into PHP classes with getters, setters, and JSON serialization methods. This process analyzes JSON structure and generates PHP classes that can serialize and deserialize JSON data, making it easy to work with APIs in PHP applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What PHP features are generated for JSON handling?

The tool generates PHP classes with private properties, getter/setter methods, a constructor that accepts arrays, toArray() and toJson() methods for serialization, and proper property_exists() checks for safe data initialization.

Can I use the generated classes with Laravel and other PHP frameworks?

Absolutely! The generated PHP classes work perfectly with Laravel, Symfony, CodeIgniter, and other PHP frameworks. They integrate seamlessly with Eloquent models, API controllers, and JSON serialization in web applications.

How are nested JSON objects handled in PHP?

Nested JSON objects become separate PHP classes with proper relationships. The tool creates a class hierarchy that mirrors your JSON structure, with parent classes containing properties of child class types.

What PHP data types are used for JSON values?

JSON strings become PHP strings, numbers become integers or floats, booleans become PHP booleans, arrays become PHP arrays, and objects become custom PHP classes. The tool intelligently maps JSON types to appropriate PHP types.

Can I customize the generated PHP class names?

Yes! You can specify custom root class names and the tool follows PHP naming conventions (PascalCase for classes). Property names are automatically converted from JSON naming to PHP conventions with appropriate getter/setter methods.

Is the JSON to PHP converter free to use?

Yes, completely free with no limitations on JSON complexity, class generation, or usage frequency. No registration required, and you can generate unlimited PHP classes from JSON data at no cost.
