How to parse a JSON string using PHP

Question

I have a JSON string that has 1-n numbers of lat/lng records. It looks something like this:

{\\\"lat\\\":37.790388261934424,\\\"lng\\\":-122.46047996826172},         


        

Answer 1

Use json_decode.

You will need to unescape quotes first; just use

$unescaped_data = str_replace('\"','"',$data)
