  Discontinued JsonPath PHP extension (by mkaminski1988)

One project, in particular, caught my attention. JsonPath-PHP wasn’t a PHP library like most other potential alternatives. Instead, it implemented JSONPath support as a PHP extension. JsonPath-PHP looked very promising in terms of performance, so I decided to give it a try.

  PHP extension for JSONPath

  

I reached out to Mike Kaminski, the creator of the project, and asked if he’d be fine with Supermetrics taking over maintenance of the JsonPath-PHP extension. Mike didn’t have an issue with it, so he transferred the ownership of the PHP extension to Supermetrics.

  Performance benchmarks for the JsonPath-PHP extension

  

In a benchmark suite, where we compare the JsonPath-PHP extension to various JSONPath libraries, JsonPath-PHP is between two and seven times faster than the fastest PHP library. The differences are biggest with small datasets, but still significant with larger ones.
