Implementation of JSON API in PHP

JSON API spec implemented in PHP 7. Immutable

The goal of this library is to ensure strict validity of JSON API documents being produced.

JSON:

{
    "data": {
        "type": "articles",
        "id": "1",
        "attributes": {
            "title": "Rails is Omakase"
        },
        "relationships": {
            "author": {
                "data": {
                    "type": "people",
                    "id": "9"
                },
                "links": {
                    "self": "/articles/1/relationships/author",
                    "related": "/articles/1/author"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

PHP:

<?php
use JsonApiPhp\JsonApi\Attribute;
use JsonApiPhp\JsonApi\DataDocument;
use JsonApiPhp\JsonApi\Link\RelatedLink;
use JsonApiPhp\JsonApi\Link\SelfLink;
use JsonApiPhp\JsonApi\ResourceIdentifier;
use JsonApiPhp\JsonApi\ResourceObject;
use JsonApiPhp\JsonApi\ToOne;

echo json_encode(
    new DataDocument(
        new ResourceObject(
            'articles',
            '1',
            new Attribute('title', 'Rails is Omakase'),
            new ToOne(
                'author',
                new ResourceIdentifier('author', '9'),
                new SelfLink('/articles/1/relationships/author'),
                new RelatedLink('/articles/1/author')
            )
        )
    ),
    JSON_PRETTY_PRINT | JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES
);
