JSON value not showing in HTML by PHP

There are few possibility why JSON data not being displayed properly.

To debug your data, use

 print_r($your_data);die(); 

If print_r shows empty or nothing, use

 var_dump($your_data);die();

Output:

string '{"en":"Home","fr":"Office","cn":"bar"}' (length=1

Possibility 1) – json data being encoded to html code. Some CMS will encoded the json data output.

To solve this html entity issue, decode the data like example below:

json_decode(html_entity_decode($your_data);
