[json_decode](http://php.net/json_decode). It's a JSON string. — Jonnix, Oct 29 '18 at 11:39

json_decode is the thing you are looking for. It is a built-in PHP function. Here is the sample code listed below using your json string as input:

$string = '[{"uniqueID":"com.product","name":"john doe","price":"15","description":"some description"},{"uniqueID":"com.product1","name":"john doe","price":"15","description":"some descriptio"}]';

$array = json_decode($string);

print_r($array);

//Output///

Array([ 0 ]=>stdClassObject([ uniqueID ]=>com.product[ name ]=>johndoe[ price ]=>15[ description ]=>somedescription)[ 1 ]=>stdClassObject([ uniqueID ]=>com.product1[ name ]=>johndoe[
price ]=>15[ description ]=>somedescriptio))
