integrate fetch_json($url)

[alexvorn2]

as we have fetch_feed() function, it will be great to have fetch_json() function too, to download a json file and decode into an array.

Feeds need to be parsed. JSON doesn't. Here's your function: json_decode( file_get_contents( $url ) );

There is no need of it.

Replying to nacin:

It is not nice to have file_get_contents function in a theme

You're right. This would be the proper way to do it in WordPress:

json_decode( wp_remote_retrieve_body( wp_remote_get( $url ) ) );
