You don’t need Object Oriented to do that :
$array = array("usa" => array(
"label"=>"USA",
"data" => array(
array("1988","483994"),
array("1989","457645") //etc
)
)
);
echo json_encode($array);
The same works back with the json string like this :
$string = '{
"usa": {
label: "USA",
data: [[1988, 483994], [1989, 479060], [1990, 457648], [1991, 401949], [1992, 424705], [1993, 402375], [1994, 377867], [1995, 357382], [1996, 337946], [1997, 336185], [1998, 328611], [1999, 329421], [2000, 342172], [2001, 344932], [2002, 387303], [2003, 440813], [2004, 480451], [2005, 504638], [2006, 528692]]
}
// skipped other data
}';
print_r(json_decode($string, true)); //Will show you the previous array
See php docs.
