A simple helper to decode and encode JSON, including from files.

## Usage

```php
use Beste\Json;
use UnexpectedValueException;

$object = Json::decode('{"key": "value"}');

$array = Json::decode('{"key": "value"}', $forceArray = true);

$object = Json::decodeFile('/path/to/file.json');

$json = Json::encode($object);

$prettyJson = Json::pretty($object);

// When something goes wring while decoding/encoding,
// an `UnexpectedValueException` is thrown
try {
    Json::decode('{]');
} catch (UnexpectedValueException $e) {
    // Handle error
}
```

composer require beste/json
