PHP Array to JSON
Convert a PHP array literal into valid JSON.
Paste a PHP array literal below - this tool converts it into valid, formatted JSON.
Going the other direction? Use the JSON to PHP Array converter instead.
What Does This Tool Do?
It parses PHP array syntax (['key' => 'value'] or the older array('key' => 'value') form, including nested arrays) and converts it into equivalent JSON.
Why Use This Tool?
Useful when you have PHP configuration or test data and need the equivalent JSON - for an API response mock, a JavaScript test fixture, or documentation.
How to Use It
- Paste a PHP array literal.
- Click Convert.
- Copy the resulting JSON.
Limitations
This handles array literals containing plain values (strings, numbers, booleans, null, nested arrays) - PHP-specific constructs like object instances, constants, or function calls within the array aren't representable in JSON and won't convert.
