php-velocypack

This is still under heavy development but feel free to try the extension and report any bugs you might encounter.

This extension does not aim to replicate the library interface of the original velocypack C++ implementation. It rather wraps the C++ velocypack library to provide a way to easily interact with Velocypack data from inside PHP. For an overview of the classes, interfaces and the functionality they provide take a look at the PhpStorm Stubs

Installation

Usage

Creating a Vpack

$vpack = \Velocypack\Vpack::fromJson('{"test":"abcde", "numbers": [1234, 5678]}');
$vpack = \Velocypack\Vpack::fromArray(["a" => [123], "b" => ["c" => true]]);
$vpack = \Velocypack\Vpack::fromBinary($binaryContent);

Accessing the values of a Vpack

$vpack = \Velocypack\Vpack::fromJson('{"test":"abcde", "numbers": [1234, 5678]}');

// access subvalue on first layer
$vpack->access("test"); // string(5) "abcde"

// access subvalue on deeper level
$vpack->access(["numbers", 1]); // int(5678)

$vpack->access("numbers"); // array(2) {[0]=>int(1234) [1]=>int(5678)}

Serializing a Vpack

$vpack = \Velocypack\Vpack::fromArray(["a" => [123], "b" => ["c" => true]]);

$vpack->toHex(); // 0x0b 0x13 0x02 0x41 0x61 0x02 0x04 0x20 0x7b 0x41 0x62 0x14 0x06 0x41 0x63 0x1a 0x01 0x03 0x09

$vpack->toJson(); // {"a":[123],"b":{"c":true}}

$vpack->toArray(); // ["a" => [123], "b" => ["c" => true]]

$vpack->toBinary();
