Multilevel Item skipping and getting deeply nested objects in memory directly

[bhushan]

Detailed description

Getting multiple nested content dynamically.

Context

$json = JsonParser::parse($source)->pointer('/results/-/gender');

foreach ($json as $key => $value) {
    // 1st iteration: $key === 'gender', $value === 'female'
    // 2nd iteration: $key === 'gender', $value === 'female'
    // 3rd iteration: $key === 'gender', $value === 'male'
    // and so on for all the objects in the array...
}

Same like above example we can skip any element keys after results, but we cant do that on multiple level

- $json = JsonParser::parse($source)->pointer('/results/-/gender');
+ $json = JsonParser::parse($source)->pointer('/results/-/-/gender');

I understood, skipping key is only possible on array, how can we make it work with object as well?

Hi @bhushan, if you need to extract entire objects, you can simply use the /results/- JSON pointer
