json_encode used when PHP retrieve data and convert Array() to [] !!!!
$arr = array('a' => 1, 'b' => 2, 'c' => 3, 'd' => 4, 'e' => 5);
echo json_encode($arr);
//output
{"a":1,"b":2,"c":3,"d":4,"e":5}
access from js file data.a, data.b,data.c...
----------------------------------------------
  $json = '{"a":1,"b":2,"c":3,"d":4,"e":5}';
json_decode($json, true); //true turns object to associative array;

//output
array(5) {
    ["a"] => int(1)
    ["b"] => int(2)
    ["c"] => int(3)
    ["d"] => int(4)
    ["e"] => int(5)
}

    if(is_string($input_line)){
        preg_match('/^\{(\s+|\n+)*(\"(.*)(\n+|\s+)*)*\}$|^\[(\s+|\n+)*\{(\s+|\n+)*(\"(.*)(\n+|\s+)*)*\}(\s+|\n)*\]$/', $input_line, $output_array);
        if (  isset($output_array) || !empty($output_array)) {
