Posting JSON objects to Symfony 2

Question

I\'m working on a project using Symfony 2, I\'ve built a bundle to handle all my database services which passes JSON data back and forward.

If you want to retrieve data in your controller that's been sent as standard JSON in the request body, you can do something similar to the following:

public function yourAction()
{
    $params = array();
    $content = $this->get("request")->getContent();
    if (!empty($content))
    {
        $params = json_decode($content, true); // 2nd param to get as array
    }
}

Now $params will be an array full of your JSON data. Remove the true parameter value in the json_decode() call to get a stdClass object.
