zabbix_sender protocol now json?

[MichaelM]

Hi there,

I would like to integrate some Zabbix monitoring in my own php application and had good luck with the "old" XML protocol described in the docs.

But if I checked a tcpdump from zabbix_sender, I figured it's using JSON.

Is this somewhere documented so I can do this in a similar way from php?

Thanks.
