预定义常量
下列常量由此扩展定义,且仅在此扩展编译入 PHP 或在运行时动态载入时可用。
以下常量表示了 json_last_error() 函数,或 JsonException 类中的 code 变量所返回的错误类型。
-
JSON_ERROR_NONE
(int) - 没有错误发生。自 PHP 5.3.0 起生效。
-
JSON_ERROR_DEPTH
(int) - 到达了最大堆栈深度。自 PHP 5.3.0 起生效。

JSON_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED_TYPE
(int) -
传递了不支持的数据类型给 json_encode() 函数,比如 资源(resource)。如果打开了

-
JSON_PARTIAL_OUTPUT_ON_ERROR
(int) - Substitute some unencodable values instead of failing. Available since PHP 5.5.0.
-
JSON_PRESERVE_ZERO_FRACTION
(int) - Ensures that float values are always encoded as a float value. Available since PHP 5.6.6.
-
JSON_UNESCAPED_LINE_TERMINATORS
(int) -
The line terminators are kept unescaped when
JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE
is supplied. It uses the same behaviour as it was before PHP 7.1 without this constant. Available since PHP 7.1.0.
下面的常量可以和 json_decode() 及 json_encode() 的 form 选项结合使用。
-
JSON_INVALID_UTF8_IGNORE
(int) - Ignore invalid UTF-8 characters. Available as of PHP 7.2.0.
-
JSON_INVALID_UTF8_SUBSTITUTE
(int) - Convert invalid UTF-8 characters to \0xfffd (Unicode Character 'REPLACEMENT CHARACTER') Available as of PHP 7.2.0.
-
JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR
(int) -
Throws JsonException if an error occurs instead
of setting the global error state that is retrieved with
json_last_error() and json_last_error_msg().
JSON_PARTIAL_OUTPUT_ON_ERROR
takes precedence overJSON_THROW_ON_ERROR
. Available as of PHP 7.3.0.

To get a really clean json string use these three constants like so:
<?php
$array = ['€', 'http://example.com/some/cool/page', '337'];
$bad = json_encode($array);
$good = json_encode($array, JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE | JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES | JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK);
// $bad would be ["\u20ac","http:\/\/example.com\/some\/cool\/page","337"]
// $good would be ["€","http://example.com/some/cool/page",337]
?>

If you curious of the numeric values of the constants, as of JSON 1.2.1, the constants have the following values (not that you should use the numbers directly):
JSON_HEX_TAG => 1
JSON_HEX_AMP => 2
JSON_HEX_APOS => 4
JSON_HEX_QUOT => 8
JSON_FORCE_OBJECT => 16
JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK => 32
JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES => 64
JSON_PRETTY_PRINT => 128
JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE => 256
JSON_ERROR_DEPTH => 1
JSON_ERROR_STATE_MISMATCH => 2
JSON_ERROR_CTRL_CHAR => 3
JSON_ERROR_SYNTAX => 4
JSON_ERROR_UTF8 => 5
JSON_OBJECT_AS_ARRAY => 1
JSON_BIGINT_AS_STRING => 2

In a multi-level array, JSON_FORCE_OBJECT will encode ALL nested numeric arrays as objects.
If your concern was ONLY the first-level array (e.g., to make it suitable as a MySQL JSON column), you could just cast your first-level array to object, e.g.:
<?php
$json = json_encode( (object) $array, JSON_PRESERVE_ZERO_FRACTION+JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE );
?>
Or, if you have large arrays and are concerned about the overhead of object casting, you could append a "null" value beyond the size of the array, which will force the array to become associative:
<?php
$beyond = count( $array ) + 1;
if ( !array_key_exists( $beyond, $array) )
$array[ $beyond ] = NULL;
$json = json_encode( $array, JSON_PRESERVE_ZERO_FRACTION+JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE );
?>
Of course, your later code has to treat an element with a "NULL" value the same as "!isset()", if it iterates the array.

flags JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK and JSON_PRESERVE_ZERO_FRACTION are broken in php 7+ — json_encode((float)8.8) returns "8.8000000000000007", and json_encode((float)8.8, JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK) and json_encode((float)8.8, JSON_PRESERVE_ZERO_FRACTION) return "8.8000000000000007" too.
the only way to fix this is setting "serialize_precision = -1" in php.ini

since json_encode expects a UTF-8 string there is no need to encode the € symbol.
I suggest you try to echo : json_encode('€');
It gives: "\u20ac"
I'm running PHP 5.6.5 on the CLI, on MacOS X 10.10

I am working with "Marathi Language Data" and I found that when I encoded Marathi data to json using json_encode it returned me unicode values of each character like below:
Program :
<?php
$ar = array("word" => "धाडस");
echo json_encode($ar);
?>
Output of program is :
{"word":"\u0927\u093e\u0921\u0938"}
This is not expected output because what I need is output as
{"word":"धाडस"}
So I used following code:
<?php
$ar = array("word" => "धाडस");
echo json_encode($ar, JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE);
?>
And I got the required output as :
{"word":"धाडस"}
