How to convert a json response into a callable object in php?

Question

I'm trying to convert the json response below in $response variable to a callable function like $response->getStatus() so it can return failed.

Here's the response

$response = '{
  "status": "failed",
  "msg": {
    "success": true,
    "license": "invalid_item_id",
    "license_limit": 2,
    "site_count": 2,
    "activations_left": 0,
    "price_id": false
  }
}'

I found something about using LazyJsonMapper. Please how can I go about it. Thanks

EDIT:

I recently discovered you can use stdClass() to get the effect you want that is similar to an array:

<?php

    $stdClass = new stdClass();
    
    $stdClass->var1 = "Example of stdClass()";
    $stdClass->var2 = "Another Example";
    $stdClass->HelloWorld = "Hello World!";
    
    # Just like array you can do:
    print_r($stdClass);
    
    # Or do this:
    foreach($stdClass as $std){
        echo $std, PHP_EOL;
    }
    
    # Just access the variable the same way you declared it:
    echo $stdClass->HelloWorld;

You can use the extract function to basically get what you want, like so:

class status{
    private $json;
    public $getStatus;
    public $getMsg;

    public function __construct(){
        $this->json = '{
            "status": "failed",
            "msg": {
                "success": false,
                "license": "invalid_item_id",
                "license_limit": 2,
                "site_count": 2,
                "activations_left": 0,
                "price_id": false
            }
        }';

        $array = json_decode($this->json, true);
        extract($array);

        $this->getStatus = $status;
        $this->getMsg = $msg;
    }         

    # If you want your parentheses you can just do this
    public function getStatus(){
        return $this->getStatus;
    }
}

$s = new status;
print_r( $s->getStatus().PHP_EOL );
print_r( $s->getStatus.PHP_EOL );
print_r( $s->getMsg['license_limit'].PHP_EOL );
print_r( $s->getMsg['license'].PHP_EOL );

# Results:
#
# failed
# failed
# 2
# invalid_item_id
