The change reduces risk of inconsistencies across the JSON encode/decode path and accelerates future enhancements. Key commit: 0e83e1e5a7bd437a38bce6d288a5a83e5600ad6e with message "[JsonEncoder] Use reuse decodeString in NativeDecoder". Technologies/skills demonstrated include PHP, Symfony architecture, refactoring, code reuse, and robust error handling, reinforcing production reliability and developer productivity.
