advanced patterns of PHP's json_decode with large JSON files in Laravel
I'm updating my dependencies and I've been working on this all day and I'm working with an scenario with PHP's `json_decode` when handling large JSON files in my Laravel 8 application... When I try to decode a JSON file that is about 5MB in size, I get the following behavior message: `Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 4096 bytes)`. I've tried increasing the memory limit in my `php.ini` file to `256M`, but the question continues. Here’s the code snippet I’m using to read and decode the JSON file: ```php $jsonFile = storage_path('data/largefile.json'); $jsonContent = file_get_contents($jsonFile); $data = json_decode($jsonContent, true); ``` I also checked if the JSON is valid using tools like JSONLint, and it seems fine. I suspect it might have something to do with how Laravel handles memory or the way I'm reading the file. I've also tried using streaming methods for handling large files, but those seem complicated and not straightforward. Any suggestions on how to handle large JSON files in Laravel without running into memory issues would be greatly appreciated! Any examples would be super helpful. The project is a desktop app built with Php. Any suggestions would be helpful.
