conf2json

Library that converts PHP configuration files to JSON. It also includes a command-line interface.

PHP configuration files are regular PHP files that return an array. They may be used to define configurations and language strings, among others.

<?php

return [
    'database' => [
        'driver' => 'mysql',
        'host' => 'localhost',
        'port' => 3306,
        'database' => 'hogwarts',
        'username' => 'severus',
        'password' => '4lw4y5',
        'charset' => 'utf8mb4',
        'collation' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci'
    ]
];

In some cases it is necessary to convert these files to JSON to make them readable from other environments.
