MediaWiki\Json\JsonDeserializer::deserialize	(		$json,
		?string	$expectedClass = null )

Restore an instance of simple type or JsonDeserializable subclass from the JSON serialization.

It supports passing array/object to allow manual decoding of the JSON string if needed.

Note: JSON objects are unconditionally deserialized as PHP associative arrays, and not as instances of \stdClass.

Parameters

array \| string \| object	$json
string \| null	$expectedClass	What class to expect in deserialization. If null, no expectation. Must be a descendant of JsonDeserializable.

Exceptions

JsonException if the passed $json can't be deserialized.
