JSON is coming with Double Quotation, How to prevent?

Level 75

It depends on how the app is creating and passing the Json. Check nodejs app and make sure it's being created correctly.

The above is valid. But don't know your use case.

You can check here https://jsonlint.com it shows valid.

@jlrdw, The solution is in Javascript. I need to process it in PHP.

By default, JSON is using double-quotes. I wouldn't change the default configuration cause there is nothing wrong with it.

@bugsysha,

But how will I use the properties ?

Can't access directly like this $data->product_id

If the outter quotes are removed and you use string replace to replace the apostrophes with quotation that would be the solution, if you need it to be a variable, replace the outer quotations with apostrophes.

You're on the right track just write a helper function to handle this.

Can't access directly like this $data->product_id

You need a Json array of objects.

Edit: I don't understand is it coming In like in your question or is that after you changed it. If that's the case don't change it.

@jlrdw,

Nothing is working. I can't access it.

$data = "{'product_id': 155, 'review_title': 'Malta Review', 'review_details': 'Malta is good', 'rating': 5 }"

How will I access them?

$data = '
{
    "type": "bold",
    "name": "something"
}';

$mydata = json_decode($data);

echo $mydata->type;

bold

Don't remove those quotation marks.

Multiple rows would be:

$mydata[0]->type;
$mydata[1]->type;
Etc

Actually I am passing the properties with single quotation. It will be double quotation. Now working.
