    echo $data['name']; // "Elephant"
} catch (Elephant\Json\JsonException $e) {
    echo "JSON error: " . $e->getMessage();
}

// Encode to JSON
$data = [
    'message' => 'hello world',
    'code' => 1122,
    'isAdmin' => true
];
$json = Json::encode($data);
// Result: {"message":"hello world","code":1122,"isAdmin":true}
