Laminas Json Laravel Package
laminas/laminas-json
Abandoned Laminas JSON component. Provided utilities for encoding/decoding JSON and related helpers, but it will receive no further development. See Laminas TSC minutes for details and consider migrating to supported alternatives.
Product Decisions This Supports
- Not recommended for new projects due to being archived and unmaintained, introducing technical debt and security risks
- Native PHP
json_encode/json_decodefunctions provide identical functionality with zero dependencies and industry-standard support - Build vs buy: Prioritize built-in PHP capabilities over deprecated third-party packages to reduce long-term maintenance costs
- Use cases: Only relevant for legacy system maintenance where migration to native PHP is not immediately feasible
When to Consider This Package
- Only for maintaining legacy applications that explicitly depend on it (with a documented migration plan to native PHP)
- If specific edge-case features exist in this package not covered by PHP core (verify functionality first—highly unlikely given the package’s simplicity)
- Always look elsewhere for new projects: PHP’s native JSON handling is sufficient for 99% of use cases; consider modern alternatives like Symfony Serializer for complex serialization needs
