I read comparison on the net once. PHP's own json_encode has very strict 
rules and it is the most strict among other frameworks. Even browsers 
are not so strict. It supports only utf-8. I remember the other 
framework was recommended instead of PHP's own. The only thing where 
PHP's json won was time spent for encoding.

Check this, for example:
