It's just depend on PHP version. Above PHP 7 PHP object is faster and lighter than array. On PHP 5 and below array is faster.- My test code:
- ```
- <?php
- $jsonobj = '{"Peter":35,"Ben":37,"Joe":43}';
- $t0 = microtime(true);
- $arraysOf=array();
- $inicio=memory_get_usage();
- for ($i=0; $i<100000; $i++) {
- $arraysOf[] = json_decode($jsonobj,true);
- }
- $fin=memory_get_usage();
- $timeArray = microtime(true) - $t0;
- $memArray = $fin-$inicio;
- echo '<p>arrays: '.$timeArray."</p>";
- echo '<p>memory: '.$memArray."</p>";
- $t0 = microtime(true);
- $arraysOf=array();
- $inicio=memory_get_usage();
- for ($i=0; $i<100000; $i++) {
- $arraysOf[] = json_decode($jsonobj);
- }
- $fin=memory_get_usage();
- $timeObject = microtime(true) - $t0;
- $memObject = $fin-$inicio;
- echo '<p>Object: '.$timeObject."</p>";
- echo '<p>memory: '.$memObject."</p>";
- $timeDiff = abs(round((1 - $timeArray / $timeObject) * 100));
- $memDiff = abs(round((1 - $memObject / $memArray) * 100));
- $speed = $timeArray>$timeObject?"Slower":"Faster";
- $speed2 = $memObject>$memArray?"Lighter":"Heavier";
- echo '<p>associative arrays is '.$timeDiff.'% '.$speed.' and '.$memDiff.'% '.$speed2.' than object</p>';
- ?>
- ```
- I tested on php 5.4, 7.4 and 8.

It's just depend on PHP version. Above PHP 7 PHP object is faster and lighter than array. On PHP 5 and below array is faster.
