How can var_export be helpful in examining multidimensional arrays with large JSON strings in PHP?

When dealing with large JSON strings representing multidimensional arrays in PHP, it can be challenging to visually inspect the structure and values of the array. Using var_export can be helpful in examining these arrays as it will output a valid PHP code representation of the array, making it easier to understand its structure and contents.

php 
// Example JSON string representing a multidimensional array
$jsonString = '{"key1": "value1", "key2": {"subkey1": "subvalue1", "subkey2": "subvalue2"}}';

// Decode the JSON string into a PHP array
$array = json_decode($jsonString, true);

// Use var_export to output the array structure and values
echo var_export($array, true);
