Answer 1

You can use the json_encode and json_decode functions to parse json data.

More info:

Answer 2

PHP has json_decode() that will convert a JSON data stream into a PHP array or object.

Answer 3

Using the PHP PECL json library

json_decode()

Just an advice, if the function doesn't return anything that means that there is a syntax error into the JSON, it will not raise any error or log.
