README

Parse PHP serialized strings into rich, structured objects — fast, simple, and flexible.

serialization-parser is a PHP package that parses serialized data into a structured, lightweight AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) format.
Each value is converted into a specific typed object (ArrayType, StringType, IntegerType, etc.), with an option to easily export the structure as a plain array.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require mochaka/serialization-parser

Usage

use Mochaka\SerializationParser\SerializationParser; $data = serialize(['foo' => 'bar', 'baz' => 1]); $result = SerializationParser::parse($data);

The above result will be an instance of Mochaka\SerializationParser\Data\ArrayType:

var_dump($result); Mochaka\SerializationParser\Data\ArrayType {#4172 +name: null, +visibility: null, +properties: [ Mochaka\SerializationParser\Data\StringType {#4170 +name: "foo", +visibility: null, +value: "bar", }, Mochaka\SerializationParser\Data\IntegerType {#4171 +name: "baz", +visibility: null, +value: 1, }, ], }

All types also have a ->toArray() method to dump the schema as an array.

var_dump($result->toArray()); [ "name" => null, "properties" => [ [ "name" => "foo", "type" => "String", "value" => "bar", "visibility" => null, ], [ "name" => "baz", "type" => "Integer", "value" => 1, "visibility" => null, ], ], "type" => "Array", "visibility" => null, ]
