It works as I expect so far. All I have to do is figure out how to make the
element a name: element in the JSON. for instance an element would look like
this
{
name: "Bob",
children: []
}
So the PHP array would have to look like this -
$json = array (
name => "Bob",
children => array (
name => "Angie"
)
)
and so on. This is for one of the services that will consume the JSON.
