How can PHP be used to effectively extract and display specific data from a JSON API response?

To extract and display specific data from a JSON API response in PHP, you can use the json_decode function to convert the JSON response into an associative array. Then, you can access the specific data you need by traversing the array using keys or indexes.

// Assuming $jsonResponse contains the JSON API response
$responseArray = json_decode($jsonResponse, true);

// Accessing specific data from the response
$specificData = $responseArray['key']['subkey'];

// Displaying the specific data
echo $specificData;
