PHP json new lines and tabs - php

Question

I have some problems with showing and formatting my JSON code.
I'm scraping Aliexpress product page, with Laravel goutte, and I have extracted JSON that is provided by aliexpress in their source code (You can check it it starts with window.runParams at the end of source code).
So after I successfully extracted that data, I have problems with formatting JSON. As you see Aliexpress already returned that data in JSON so I don't need to write json_encode or decode. I'm returning my response in postman and I don't think that postman is making that JSON response wrong, when I open JSON formatter it's always giving me errors for multiple lines "Invalid character".
This is my full code, and I'm just calling this class and returning it in controller:
use Goutte\Client;
use Symfony\Component\HttpClient\HttpClient;
class Scrapers
{
// This will be sent from another class, for now we are calling it from here
private $client;
public $url;
public $array = [];
public function __construct($url){
$this->url = $url;
$this->client = new Client(HttpClient::create(['timeout' => 60]));
$this->client->request('GET', $url)->filter('script')->each(
function ($node) {
array_push($this->array, $node->html());
});
}
public function getBetween($content,$start,$end){
$r = explode($start, $content);
if (isset($r[1])){
$r = explode($end, $r[1]);
return $r[0];
}
return '';
}
/**
* Return product title
*/
public function getTitle(){
$content = $this->array[16];
$start = "data:";
$end = "csrfToken:";
$output = $this->getBetween($content,$start,$end);
$remove_new_lines = str_replace(array("\n", "\r"), '', $output);
return $remove_new_lines;
}
For now I don't have extracted ',' from the end of the file, but if I delete it, formatter must return valid json response anyway (but it doesen't).
This is how is data returned in my postman: https://justpaste.it/3qrtm
I tried multiple functions that are removing tabs, new spaces and everything I found on internet, but no success.
Any ideas how to fix that?

Try $node->text()instead of $node->html()
