This article will teach us how to convert JSON to Array in laravel. I will explain through a simple example converting a JSON object to an Array in laravel.
There are many ways to convert JSON data into an array in a Laravel application. I'll show you how to convert JSON data into an array in 2 easy examples. In the first example, we will use json_decode(), and in the second example, we will use the json() method of the HTTP response. So let's see both examples now:
Using json_decode() Method
App\Http\Controllers\UserContoller.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class UserController extends Controller
{
/**
* Write code on Method
*
* @return response()
*/
public function index()
{
$jsonUserData = '[
{ "id": 1, "name": "TechvBlogs", "email": "[email protected]"},
{ "id": 2, "name": "Support", "email": "[email protected]"},
{ "id": 3, "name": "SslForWeb", "email": "[email protected]"}
]';
$userData = json_decode($jsonData, true);
dd($userData);
}
}
Output:
array:3 [
0 => array:3 [
"id" => 1
"name" => "TechvBlogs"
"email" => "[email protected]"
]
1 => array:3 [
"id" => 2
"name" => "Support"
"email" => "[email protected]"
]
2 => array:3 [
"id" => 3
"name" => "SslForWeb"
"email" => "[email protected]"
]
]
Using json() Method
App\Http\Controllers\UserContoller.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;
class UserController extends Controller
{
/**
* Write code on Method
*
* @return response()
*/
public function index()
{
$response = Http::get('https://dummyjson.com/users/1');
$userData = $response->json();
dd($userData);
}
}
Output:
