[REQUEST] JSON response

[chrisvoo]

Hi,
thank you for your job. It could be usefull to receive responses also in JSON format for all API by specifing it as a property of the client, instead of a SimpleXmlElement. Now it seems available only for attachments API and issue creation.
Bye :-)

You can encode response as json
return json_encode($whatever);

Switching to JSON for all API would need a whole rewrite of all APIs as well as the parameter handling. If someone would take the time for a PR this would be awesome.

As a workaround I would recommend simply parse the SimpleXML to JSON with json_encode:

$issue = $client->getApi('issue')->create($data);

if ($issue instanceof \SimpleXMLElement)
{
    $issueAsJsonString = json_encode($issue);
}
