Changeset 51681 for branches/5.8/src/wp-includes/blocks.php

Message:

Editor: Ensure block attribute serialization in PHP matches the JavaScript equivalent.

The serializeAttributes() function in JavaScript uses JSON.stringify, which does not encode slashes and unicode characters by default. This resulted in the PHP serialization through json_encode() producing different results.

This also switches from json_encode() to wp_json_encode() to prevent failures when any non UTF-8 characters are included.

Props kevinfodness, SergeyBiryukov, timothyblynjacobs.
Merges [51674] to the 5.8 branch.
Fixes #53936.
