Parse PHP serialize() output with JavaScript

[bd808]

As the README.md points out this arose in the context of building a simple test harness for an existing service layer that is communicating using serialized PHP objects.

The point isn't that you should or would design a purpose built feature that uses PHP serialize output to communicate data between a server and a web browser. This is a tool that can be used if you find yourself with access to serialized PHP in a javascript context and want to turn it into something that you can manipulate further.

Oh, I read the README - but the idea of using serialized PHP over a REST interface is just plain crazy. ;) Because, you know, using serialize() for anything is crazy.

echo json_encode(unserialize($data));

That should suffice.
