JSON Containing Binary Data

Question

Hi Everyone!

I've been on working on this for ages. I am receiving a JSON from a request to an API and unfortunately the key's of each entry is a time uuid which is in binary format. I'm trying to use json_decode() to decode the json into a PHP array. However, when I echo the string I have about 80 entries but after the decode into the array, it trims it down to about 40 entries,

I should mention that I don't need these values that are in the keys, I could just strip them off if possible using array_values() maybe?

Any advice would help Thanks!

Here's some sample data

"\u001c":{"down":"1280069835000","off":"1279893600000","on":"1279886400000","up":"1280077035000"},"=":{"down":"1280163435000","off":"1279893600000","on":"1279886400000","up":"1280167035000"}

I actually contacted the development team, and they converted the binary uuid to string format, and it worked like a charm. Looks like this sort of thing may not be possible besides manually parsing out the JSON. Thanks for your efforts all!
