And My Php code is decoding this data to an array and then after that, I couldn't separate the objects and arrays. I know how much results i have and i can simply loop through it but i need to know how do i get that data .
<?php
$json = file_get_contents('https://newsapi.org/v2/top-headlines?country=us&apiKey=5d0d49e595dc4b64a2fd3916b617ad8c');
print_r( json_decode($json, true));
$jsons= ( json_decode($json, true));
echo $jsons[0]["article"];
?>

Answer 1

Your PHP code is wrong, echo $jsons[0]["article"];. - This will not work.
You need to replace it with print_r( $jsons["articles"][0] );. Therefore, I think what you mean by JSON DATA is how you roll it out or going through the data.
Because you have set the assoc parameter to true, json_decode() will return an array.
First a correction to your code that hopefully help you to understand how json and array() works.
$json = file_get_contents('https://newsapi.org/v2/top-headlines?country=us&apiKey=5d0d49e595dc4b64a2fd3916b617ad8c');
print_r( json_decode($json, true));
$jsons= ( json_decode($json, true));
print_r( $jsons["articles"][0] );
echo $jsons["articles"][0]['title'];
In this example we will roll out all articles.
$json = file_get_contents('https://newsapi.org/v2/top-headlines?country=us&apiKey=5d0d49e595dc4b64a2fd3916b617ad8c');
$news = json_decode($json, true);
foreach ($news["articles"] as $i => $article) {
echo '<h2>' . $article['title'] . '</h2>';
echo '<img src="' . $article['urlToImage'] . '"/>';
echo '<p>Published on ' . $article['publishedAt'] . '</p>';
echo '<p>' . $article['description'] . '</p>';
echo 'Read more';
}
You may also want to see array() at w3schools.com.

Answer 2

$jsons is not an array, but an object. What you want is $jsons->articles[0].
