This library collides with the php extension jsonpath

[dcmals]

Reported with PHP version: PHP 8.3.17

If the PHP module jsonpath is enabled, when trying to instantiate the JsonPath\JsonPath class, it ends up loading the one from the PHP module, not the Galbar one.

Namespace issue. This library is not following the standard Vendor\Package naming convention, so that could be fixed in a future release. Maybe create a PR with the suggested changes?

The JSONPath module/extension doesn't seem to be very widely used? I hadn't heard of it before reading this issue.

• Not included with MacPorts PHP libraries
• Not included with popular Ubuntu APT libraries.

I'm sure it's easy to obtain and install, but with it not being available by default with the above package managers suggests that it's not widely installed? Do you have a link to the source for that module?

I created a PR #73 that would address this issue. Would require a major version bump.

I'm sorry. I had missed this issue. Thanks @TheDigitalOrchard for the PR. This is an important change, as you suggest it requires a major version bump. Given how unpopular the jsonpath extension is, I'd rather wait for a bigger functionality change before publishing such a big change.

Maybe after getting #71 right, we could get the tests working in 7.x and then merge this and publish a new major.
