-At the present time, there would be no change to the default error behaviour. It would be worthwhile considering whether to eventually slowly deprecate not using <php>JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR</php> and then change the default behaviour, however.+Note that when given an invalid depth parameter, <php>json_decode()</php> outputs a warning and returns NULL. This behaviour is unaffected by JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR because it does not affect the global error state at present, has no corresponding error code to throw an exception with, and is not dependent on user input. Similarly, parameter parsing errors continue to produce warnings (when not in strict mode) because their error behaviour cannot be conditioned on the value of a parameter being parsed. Both can be caught by a user error handler that converts errors to exceptions.
