JSON_PRIORITY_KEYS

JSON_PRIORITY_KEYS
= [\org\schema\constants\Schema::AT_TYPE, \org\schema\constants\Schema::AT_CONTEXT, \org\schema\constants\Schema::_KEY, \org\schema\constants\Schema::_FROM, \org\schema\constants\Schema::_TO, \org\schema\constants\Schema::ID, \org\schema\constants\Schema::NAME, \org\schema\constants\Schema::URL, \org\schema\constants\Schema::CREATED, \org\schema\constants\Schema::MODIFIED]
Keys listed here will always appear first in the serialized array, in the order specified. All remaining public properties will be sorted alphabetically after these priority keys.
This ensures that important JSON-LD metadata and system fields
(like @type, @context, _key, id, url, created, modified, etc.)
appear at the top of the output for consistency and readability.
Usage:
$orderedKeys = self::JSON_PRIORITY_KEYS;
Notes:
- Can be overridden in a subclass by redefining the constant.
- Late static binding (
static::JSON_PRIORITY_KEYS) allows child classes to modify the serialization order.
