PHP REST API class generator from json string

Question

Is there any way to get PHP classes mapped from json (something like JAXB for Java) ?

For example:

{"name":"MIckey", "surname":"Mouse", "age":20, "cars":[{"plate":"1234","model":"Test"},{"plate":"5678","model":"Test"}]}

creates:

class Man{
    private $name;
    private $surname;
    private $age;
    private $cars;

    ...get
    ...set
}

class Car{
    private $plate;
    private $model;

    ...get
    ...set
}

Not directly afaik, though you may check something like this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5397758/json-decode-to-custom-class — briosheje, Aug 31 '16 at 06:37
You could look into JMS Serializer: http://jmsyst.com/libs/serializer — Marco Veenendaal, Aug 31 '16 at 06:52

Here's one that will produce PHP classes. https://packagist.org/packages/kshabazz/json-to-src

It's a bit clunky, but the only one that I know of that will generate actual PHP files.

It's meant to work with API services that do not provide a JSON schema. You have to provide the actual JSON that the API spits out.
