[Solved] How can i decode data from JSON.stringify

by


Your problem is the invalid JSON text.

I’ve made an attempt to fix the json. Be aware, it’s ugly. Very ugly!

So, having this as input:

$a="{"LinkedIn /*trimmed data to fit this format*/ Recruiting"}]}";
// you use $a = $_POST['LiRecData'];

What I did was try to reconstruct the JSON based on some (few) existing/correct elements:

$a = str_replace(["\n","\t",'<br>','</br>'],'',$a);       // remove new lines, tabs and br tags
$a = preg_replace ( '/([^"])\,([^"])/' , "$1___$2" , $a); // replace commas inside qoutes with SOMETHING
$a = preg_replace ( '/([^"])\:([^"])/' , "$1__|$2" , $a); // replace semicolon inside qoutes with SOMETHING ELSE
$a = str_replace('"','',$a);                              // remove all qoutes
$a = str_replace(':','":"',$a);                           // quote all semicolons 
$a = str_replace(',','","',$a);                           // quote all commas
$a = preg_replace ( '/([\{])([a-zA-Z0-9])/' , "$1\"$2" , $a); // {A => {"A
$a = preg_replace ( '/([\:])\"\s([\[])/' , "$1$2" , $a);      // : " [ => : [
$a = preg_replace ( '/([a-zA-Z0-9])([\}])/' , "$1\"$2" , $a); // adas} => adas"}
$a = preg_replace ( '/([\.])(\s{0,})([\}])/' , "$1\"$3" , $a);
$a = preg_replace ( '/([\"])(\s{1,})([a-zA-Z0-9])/' , "$1$3" , $a); // "   Key" => "Key" trim keys
$a = str_replace(':" }',':"" }',$a);
$a = str_replace(']","','],"', $a);
$a = str_replace("___",",",$a);             // revert comment 2
$a = str_replace("__|",":",$a);             // revert comment 3
$a = str_replace(']}","Top', '],"Top',$a);  //manual fix for TopSkils

print_r(json_decode($a,true));
