Converting a multidimensional array to a specific object in Php 5.3

Question

I have a json like below:-

{
  "_objectClassName": "Transfer_Sales_Order_Item",
  "_idAttribute": "id_sales_order_item",
  "_indexDirty": true,
  "_data": [
    {

      },
      "_defaultValues": {
        "quantity": 1
      },
      "_data": {
        "sku": "CA028SH10UTLINDFAS-697382",
        "fk_catalog_simple": 697382,
        "name": "Bronze Sandal",
        "unit_price": 1095,
        "catalog_tax_class": {
          "_attributes": {
            "tax_percent": null
          },
          "_defaultValues": [

          ],
          "_data": {
            "tax_percent": 0
          }
        },
        "tax_percent": 0,
        "original_unit_price": 1095,
        "shipping_charge": 1,
        "item_attributes": {
          "_attributes": {
            "is_surface": null,
            "is_fragile": null,
            "is_precious": null,
            "seller_discount": 0,
            "seller_price": 0,
            "seller_sku": null
          },
          "_defaultValues": [

          ],
          "_data": {
            "is_surface": 0,
            "is_fragile": 0,
            "seller_sku": 1000211001,
            "seller_price": 0
          }
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

which I want to convert it to a specific object like below:-

Can someone let me know how this can be achieved in a generic way as I am having quite a few json schemas like above?

I have gone through this question but none of the answer there seems to be quite apt for me.

I have gone through this question as well. The answers there does not suit me as in my case the attribute itself can be an object for example catalog_tax_class is of typeTransfer_Catalog_Tax_Class.

Php Version - 5.3.29.

Is `json_decode()` not good enough a result or have you not heard about that simple function? — RiggsFolly, Feb 02 '17 at 19:37
I want to convert the json to an instance of `Transfer_Sales_Order_ItemCollection`. How can I achieve this using `json_decode`? — tuk, Feb 02 '17 at 19:40
A simple no thats not what I am after is quite good enough. I am quite able to get the message and delete my attempted answer — RiggsFolly, Feb 02 '17 at 19:46

You can use a magic __set method on your class like this:

class Transfer_Sales_Order_ItemCollection
{
    // [...]
    public function __set($property, $value)
    {
        if (property_exists($this, $property)) {
            $this->$property = $value;
        }
    }
}

And do the following:

$obj = new Transfer_Sales_Order_ItemCollection();
foreach ($json as $prop => $value) {
    $obj->$prop = $value;
}

Does it work with Php 5.3? – tuk Feb 02 '17 at 19:34
Ops. My bad. It does not. – Vinicius Dias Feb 02 '17 at 19:42
I edited the answer showing how to acomplish it with magic methods. – Vinicius Dias Feb 02 '17 at 19:47
In my case the array is multi-dimensional. For example `[catalog_tax_class] => Transfer_Catalog_Tax_Class` so a simple __set will not do I feel. – tuk Feb 02 '17 at 20:04
Just adapt the __set method to check if the $prop can be 'converted to a class name', for example and if it is, intantiate the given class. – Vinicius Dias Feb 03 '17 at 12:31

You can use php's magic methods to implement generic getters/setters and map the json data to your internal structure.

here is a good example how to use them: Getter and Setter?
