A simple utility to create payloads in an easy object oriented construct and transform it into different structures viz. array, objects, string(json).

Usage:

Create a new PayloadStruct instance

$payload = new PayloadStruct;

Set Items:

$payload->setName('Jane Doe');
$payload->setEmail('jane@example.com');
$payload->setPhone('1234567890');
$payload->setWebsite('example.com');

You can also chain the setters:

$payload->setName('Jane Doe')
  ->setEmail('jane@example.com')
  ->setPhone('1234567890')
  ->setWebsite('example.com');

Or use assignment notation:

$payload->language = 'English';

And get the final payload in different structures:

$payload->getArray();

Output:

Array
(
    [name] => Jane Doe
    [email] => jane@example.com
    [phone] => 1234567890
    [website] => example.com
    [language] => English
)

$payload->getJson();

Output:

{"name":"Jane Doe","email":"jane@example.com","phone":"1234567890","website":"example.com","language":"English"}

$payload->getObject();

Output:

stdClass Object
(
    [name] => Jane Doe
    [email] => jane@example.com
    [phone] => 1234567890
    [website] => example.com
    [language] => English
)

You can also access individual items with getter notation or direct property access notation as follows:

$payload->getName(); //Outputs Jane Doe
$payload->name; //Outputs Jane Doe

Reset payload data:

$payload->flush();

You can chain on to add new data items:

$payload->flush()
  ->setNewName('John Doe');
