PHP has a built-in function that can decode a JSON string and turn into an object or an object tree and is called PHP-JSON. This is very helpful for when you need to integrate or mashup with other application such as the google APIs. Here is a quick simple example:

<?php

$obj = json_decode($json_str);
echo $obj->name;
echo “\n”;
