JSON is a format for encoding data structures as strings. PHP can encode any variable type using the JSON format.
Suppose you want to encode an array with many elements. In that case, the PHP JSON encoding function can take a lot of memory because it needs to take a variable as a parameter with all the elements and create a string in memory with the result of the JSON encoding process.
This package provides a better solution that takes much less memory. It can encode one array element at a time and outputs it immediately without adding all elements to the array.
This way, the class does not store all array elements, and that will save a lot of memory, keeping the memory usage within limits set in the PHP configuration.
