What have you tried? Do you know about [`json_decode()`](http://php.net/manual/function.json-decode.php)? — Till Helge, Jul 14 '16 at 10:01
There are either too many possible answers, or good answers would be too long for this format. Please add details to narrow the answer set or to isolate an issue that can be answered in a few paragraphs. — Praveen Kumar Purushothaman, Jul 14 '16 at 10:01
Read [json_decode()](http://php.net/manual/en/function.json-decode.php) — Saty, Jul 14 '16 at 10:01
you are not getting right output because of `"price":1.2312312331231232e 23` , your string in not in json format, Check this : https://eval.in/605084 — Niklesh Raut, Jul 14 '16 at 10:17

There are many ways to read a file, let's say file_get_contents()

$file = file_get_contents('FILE WITH FULL PATH');

$decoded = json_decode ($file);

var_dump($decoded);

You are OK.
