How can PHP be used to parse non-standard JSON responses from APIs like Reddit?

When dealing with non-standard JSON responses from APIs like Reddit, you can use PHP to parse the data by first decoding the JSON response into an associative array. Then, you can access the specific data you need by navigating through the array structure based on the response format. 

// Assume $jsonResponse contains the non-standard JSON response from Reddit API

$data = json_decode($jsonResponse, true);

// Accessing specific data based on response structure
if(isset($data['data']['children'])) {
    foreach($data['data']['children'] as $child) {
        $title = $child['data']['title'];
        $author = $child['data']['author'];
        // Do something with the title and author
    }
}
