How to parse results?

[bebraw]

Can you describe what sort of result array you want?

[MickeyKay]

Sure thing. For example, if I get the data at this URL for FontAwesome:
http://api.jsdelivr.com/v1/bootstrap/libraries/font-awesome/?fields=versions

I get the following output:

[
{
"versions": [
"4.0.3",
"4.0.2",
"4.0.1",
"4.0.0",
"3.2.1",
"3.2.0",
"3.1.1",
"3.1.0",
"3.0.2",
"3.0",
"2.0"
]
}
]

I can get that text in PHP, but my question is how do I turn that into a
PHP array that looks like this:

$versions = array(4.0.3, 4.0.2, 4.0.1, etc. . . )

An array upon which I can perform normal PHP operations and looping. Does
that make sense?

Thanks! Any help would be much appreciated :)

You probably should apply json_decode on the result. That will give you an array like above.

In JavaScript (Node.js) the operation you want would look like this:

var request = require('request');

request.get('http://api.jsdelivr.com/v1/bootstrap/libraries/font-awesome/?fields=versions',
    {
        json: true
    },
    function(err, res, data) {
        if(err) {
            return console.error(err);
        }

        var versions = data[0].versions;

        console.log(versions);
    }
);

You should be able to achieve something similar in PHP easily.

Awesome! I didn't even know that was JSON - learn something new every day.
Thanks again.

Ok. I guess it's safe to close this issue.

If there are any other problems or you need something specific, just poke.

@MickeyKay Hey, your WordPress plugin very good.
Any chance you could a dropdown to allow users to choose what CDN to use and add us there too? :)

[MickeyKay]

Not sure exactly what you mean? Can you clarify? Are you referring to
Better Font Awesome?

Yes, Better Font Awesome. We too host FontAwesome http://www.jsdelivr.com/#!fontawesome
More info about jsDelivr https://hacks.mozilla.org/2014/03/jsdelivr-the-advanced-open-source-public-cdn/

You could add a dropdown allowing the user to select the CDN he wants to use to load FontAwesome. Let me know what you think :)

@MickeyKay jsDelivr uses the both the MaxCDN that BootstrapCDN uses & CloudFlare's CDN (plus a few extra PoPs in the CDN)

[MickeyKay]

Ahhh, I see. Are there advantages to one vs. the other. This sounds like a
great feature to add, but I'd like to know what the reasons for/against are
before I start drawing up the code. Thanks!

It offers a choice to users which is a good thing :)
Other than that the main difference is in infrastructure. You can read the mozilla blog post and our readme here for more info https://github.com/jsdelivr/jsdelivr

Happy to report that Better Font Awesome plugin for WordPress (
https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-font-awesome) now offers the ability
to choose your CDN (jsDelivr or Bootstrap), with jsDelivr as the default!
Thanks for the great suggestions and all the help. Feel free to spread the
word about the plugin too :)
