php-guzzleHow to post a JSON body in PHP Guzzle?

Posting a JSON body in PHP Guzzle is easy. You can use the json option in the request options array to set the body of the request.

$client = new GuzzleHttp\Client();
$response = $client->request('POST', 'http://example.com/api/v1/users', [
    'json' => [
        'name' => 'John Doe',
        'email' => '[email protected]'
    ]
]);

The output of the above code will be a GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Response object.
