I can't count how many times I've been bitten by this. From the infamous

"Parts of PHP are practically designed to produce buggy code.
json_decode returns null for invalid input, even though null is also a

unreliable unless you also call json_last_error every time you use it."
Most functions in PHP return false as an indicator for an invalid call.
json_decode() returns null -- changing this to return false is also a
breaking change that may not survive a vote.
'false' is also valid JSON.
