If you guys still interested, here is my workaround based on Guzzle middleware feature:
Create JsonAwaraResponse
that will decode JSON response by Content-Type
HTTP header, if not - it will act as standard Guzzle Response:
<?php
namespace GuzzleHttp\Psr7;
class JsonAwareResponse extends Response
{
/**
* Cache for performance
* @var array
*/
private $json;
public function getBody()
{
if ($this->json) {
return $this->json;
}
// get parent Body stream
$body = parent::getBody();
// if JSON HTTP header detected - then decode
if (false !== strpos($this->getHeaderLine('Content-Type'), 'application/json')) {
return $this->json = \json_decode($body, true);
}
return $body;
}
}
Create Middleware which going to replace Guzzle PSR-7 responses with above Response implementation:
<?php
$client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client();
/** @var HandlerStack $handler */
$handler = $client->getConfig('handler');
$handler->push(\GuzzleHttp\Middleware::mapResponse(function (\Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface $response) {
return new \GuzzleHttp\Psr7\JsonAwareResponse(
$response->getStatusCode(),
$response->getHeaders(),
$response->getBody(),
$response->getProtocolVersion(),
$response->getReasonPhrase()
);
}), 'json_decode_middleware');
After this to retrieve JSON as PHP native array use Guzzle as always:
$jsonArray = $client->get('http://httpbin.org/headers')->getBody();
Tested with guzzlehttp/guzzle 6.3.3
