PHP-将数据转换为有效的json

Question

I have a huge .txt file with data in this format:

{
    "template_id": "prefix_1",
    "settings": {
        "setting1": "bla",
        "setting2": "blub"
    },
    "test": 1,
    "test": 2,
    "test": 3
},
{
    "template_id": "other_prefix_1",
    "values": {
        "value1": "bla",
        "value2": "blub"
    },
    "something": "Hello!"
},
{
    "template_id": "prefix_2",
    "settings": {
        "setting1": "bla",
        "setting2": "blub"
    },
    "test": 1,
    "test": 2,
    "test": 3
}

That looks like json, but it is not valid json and I want to make it valid. The result should be something like this:

{
    "prefix": [
        {
            "id": "1",
            "settings": {
                "setting1": "bla",
                "setting2": "blub"
            },
            "tests": [
                "test": 1,
                "test": 2,
                "test": 3
            ]
        },
        {
            "id": "2",
            "settings": {
                "setting1": "bla",
                "setting2": "blub"
            },
            "tests": [
                "test": 1,
                "test": 2,
                "test": 3
            ]
        }
    ],
    "other_prefix": [
        {
            "id": "1",
            "values": {
                "value1": "bla",
                "value2": "blub"
            },
            "something": "Hello!"
        }
    ]
}

Someone have a good idea how I can do that with PHP, when I read the data from the txt file? The lines are exactly like this, so if necessary I can read every line.

Answer 1

Unless the format that you have in the TXT file is a real format that can be parsed by a PHP function into an object, I am afraid that you will need to write a parser from scratch. It will involve a loop that read line by line, some IFs statments and regular expressions.

Then you can build a hash containing hashes and lists.

And then you can convert this hash to a JSON string using json_encode($myhash).
