Usage

Here is an example how to use the JSON API server:

// create the server
$jsonApi = new JsonApiServer(new Deserializer(), new Serializer());

// add your request handlers to the registry of the json api server
$jsonApi->addHandler('customResources', new YourCustomRequestHandler());

// create the json api request
$request = new Request(
        'GET', 
         new \GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Uri('/api/customResources'),
         $jsonApi->createRequestBody(file_get_contents('php://input')),
         '/api'
);

// get a json api response json api request
try{
    $response = $jsonApi->handleHttpRequest($request);
} catch(\Exception $e){
    $response = $jsonApi->handleException($e);
}

// send the response back to requesting HTTP client...
header('HTTP/1.1 '.$response->status()); 

foreach ($response->headers()->all() as $header => $value){
    header($header.': '.$value);
}

echo $jsonApi->createResponseBody($response);
