Currently it has key in key have may value. may another array, may object and sometimes also array and object goes more nested.
For now i am doing this php to display properly
is there another good or proper way?
$data = json_decode($data);
if(is_array($data))
{
echo '<pre>';
for($i = 0; $i< count($data); $i++)
{
$record = $data[$i];
foreach($record as $key => $value)
{
if($value)
if(is_object($value))
{
foreach($value as $key1 => $value1)
{
echo $key1." = ".$value1."<br />";
}
}
else if (is_array($value))
{
for($j = 0; $j< count($value); $j++)
{
$innerValue = $value[$j];
if(is_object($innerValue))
{
foreach($innerValue as $key1 => $value1)
{
echo $key1." = ".$value1."<br />";
}
}
else if (is_array($innerValue))
{
}
else
{
echo $key." = ".$value."<br />";
}
}
}
else
{
echo $key." = ".$value."<br />";
}
}
//print_r($record);
}
}

You could try using a recursive function, instead of nesting that much:
Pass the function an Array, the output of json_decode($json) for example.
function print_json($json) {
if (is_array($json) || is_object($json)) {
echo "<table width=100%>";
$type = 'Array';
if(is_object($json)) $type = 'Object';
echo '<tr><td colspan=2 style="background-color:#333333;">
<strong><font color=white>'.$type.'</font></strong>
</td></tr>';
foreach ($json as $k => $v) {
echo '<tr><td valign="top" style="background-color:#F0F0F0;">';
echo '<strong>'.$k.'</strong></td><td>';
print_json($v);
echo "</td></tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
return;
}
echo $json;
}
