$string = " { \"name\": \"flare\", \"children\": [ { \"name\": \"analytics\", \"children\": [ { \"name\": \"cluster\", \"children\": [ {\"name\": \"agglomerativecluster\", \"size\": 3938}, {\"name\": \"communitystructure\", \"size\": 3812}, {\"name\": \"hierarchicalcluster\", \"size\": 6714}, {\"name\": \"mergeedge\", \"size\": 743} ] } ] } ] } ";
use json_decode()
this:
$obj = json_decode($string); var_dump($obj);
output:
class stdclass#1 (2) { public $name => string(5) "flare" public $children => array(1) { [0] => class stdclass#2 (2) { public $name => string(9) "analytics" public $children => array(1) { ... } } } }
