What is JSON to PHP Converter?
Need to generate PHP classes from your JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) data? This tool does that instantly. Perfect for PHP developers working with Laravel, Symfony, or WordPress who need to deserialize JSON into strongly-typed PHP objects. Generate classes, properties, and type declarations automatically.
According to PHP documentation, typed properties and classes make code more maintainable and catch errors early. Our converter analyzes your JSON structure and generates proper PHP classes. First, validate your JSON using our JSON Validator, then convert it to PHP. You can also format your JSON with our JSON Formatter first if needed.
Everything happens in your browser – your JSON never leaves your computer. Convert, download, and use your PHP classes right away.
What Makes This Tool Different
Automatic Class Generation
We analyze your JSON structure and automatically generate PHP classes. JSON objects become classes, arrays become arrays, everything gets proper PHP types.
Typed Properties
Generate PHP classes with typed properties for better type safety. Works great with PHP 7.4+ typed properties and static analysis tools.
Namespace Support
Configure namespaces to match your project structure. Generate code that fits seamlessly into your existing PHP project organization.
File Upload Support
Got a big file? Just upload it. Works great for converting those massive JSON configs or data files without copy-pasting.
Download PHP
One click to download your PHP file. Drop it into your PHP project and start using it. Perfect for Laravel, Symfony, or WordPress applications.
Clean Code Output
The generated PHP code is clean and well-formatted. Classes are properly named, properties are typed correctly, and the code follows PSR standards.
How It Works
Paste or Upload JSON
Paste your JSON into the left editor, or click "Upload" to load a file. The JSON should be valid – use our JSON Validator first if you're not sure. You can also click "Sample" to see an example.
Configure Options
Set your class name, namespace, and choose whether to use typed properties. These settings customize the generated PHP code to match your project's conventions.
Download or Copy
Click "Download" to save the PHP file, or "Copy" to copy it to your clipboard. The PHP code is ready to use in your project. Drop it into your PHP project and start using it.
When You'd Actually Use This

Code Generation
Generate PHP code from JSON data structures. Perfect for creating data models, DTOs, or entity classes from JSON schemas or API responses.
Common Questions
Is my JSON data stored?
Nope. Everything happens right in your browser. Your JSON never leaves your computer – we don't even see it.
How are JSON objects handled?
JSON objects become PHP classes. Properties become class properties, and nested objects become nested classes or references. Arrays become PHP arrays.
Can I use the generated PHP code?
Yes. The generated PHP code is valid and ready to use. Drop it into your PHP project and start using it. You may want to review and refine the classes for your specific use case.
What about typed properties?
You can enable typed properties in the configuration options. This generates PHP classes with typed properties for better type safety (PHP 7.4+).
Does it work with large JSON files?
Yep. Since everything happens in your browser, it depends on your device. Small to medium JSON structures convert instantly. Really huge structures might take a few seconds.
What PHP version is supported?
The generated code works with PHP 7.4 and later. It uses standard PHP features and follows PSR standards for maximum compatibility.
