How can PHP developers efficiently extract and format data from a JSON string to display in a specific order, such as in the example provided with player names, ages, and positions?

To efficiently extract and format data from a JSON string in PHP, you can use the json_decode function to convert the JSON string into an associative array. You can then access the specific data elements you need and format them accordingly to display in a specific order. 

<?php
$jsonString = '{"players":[{"name":"John Doe","age":25,"position":"Forward"},{"name":"Jane Smith","age":22,"position":"Midfielder"}]}';

$data = json_decode($jsonString, true);

foreach ($data['players'] as $player) {
    echo "Name: " . $player['name'] . "<br>";
    echo "Age: " . $player['age'] . "<br>";
    echo "Position: " . $player['position'] . "<br><br>";
}
?>
