php json_decode fails without quotes on key

Question

I have json data represented like this

{key:\"value\"}

(no quotes arround key...)

I want to translate it to an associative array.

$results = \Symfony\Component\Yaml\Yaml::parse("{a: d, b: 'c', e: [a, 3]}");

You probably can only use that lib without having to use the whole Symfony package : https://packagist.org/packages/symfony/yaml
