Hi All,
Basic types were added to our JSON decoder to PHP 5.2.1, this
allows one to use json_encode / json_decode on any of our scalar
types. Omar correctly identified #38680 as not a bug but it appears
that Ilia added support for this anyway violating the RFC [1].
Maybe there was a reason for this but I'm not sure why?
PHP is typeless language, IMO its conductive to this design to allow
encoding of basic types via json_encode, it reduces the code when
communicating to/form JavaScript to avoid type detection. While it
does violate the RFC IMO the convenience of the feature is
definitely worth it.
well seems to me like its safer to stick with RFC as the default. if
at all this should be optional. JSON is a standard and this requires
everybody to follow it. so using something else should be a conscious
decision that is also visible during code review.
