A simple wrapper around PHP's JSON functions giving a simple approach to error checking on decode.

All methods are static so an example useage would be as follows:

<?php
  if(Json::decode("{}", false) === false)
  {
    // string does not contain valid JSON data.
    echo Json::get_error_message();
  }
?>

This class is a simple wrapper around PHP's JSON functions. It aims to make error detection and parsing simpler than it currently is. For example the decode method decodes a JSON string and returns the resulting object/array. If the decode operation fails the wrapper function will return FALSE, unlike the default implementation which returns NULL. The issue here being that a valid JSON string can be decoded and result in NULL also. This is not always desireable.
