Comment:

 Hello @desrosj, I reviewed the patch in PR #10520, and it looks correct.
 `json2php` is only used in the build tooling (`copy:block-json`) and not
 needed at runtime, so moving it from `dependencies` to `devDependencies`
 makes sense.

  **Tested locally:**

 * `npm install` (lockfile updated as expected)
 * `npm run build` (no errors)
 * `npx grunt copy:block-json` (task runs successfully).
  => +1 to commit/merge. Any PHPUnit deprecation warnings I saw appear
 unrelated to this change.
