How to use php with json?

PHP has built-in functions to work with JSON, such as `json_encode()` and `json_decode()`.

Example:

  $array = array('a' => 1, 'b' => 2, 'c' => 3);
  echo json_encode($array);
  

Solution:

  $json = '{'a':1,'b':2,'c':3}';
  $decoded = json_decode($json, true);
  print_r($decoded);
