Laravel doesn't provide a JSON config adapter out of the box, only PHP. Using a JSON file means that editing can be made simple via a GUI & the data can be persisted back to disk instead of storing in the database. The retrieval of the file is cached by default, so file I/O overhead is minimal and rare unless the file is constantly updated. Having different settings in production and local environments is also tough. The idea is to add a Git integration so that settings could be persisted back to Git from a Forge or Ploi server. |
