What are some best practices for handling JSON data with duplicate keys in PHP?

When handling JSON data with duplicate keys in PHP, one approach is to decode the JSON data into an associative array using the `json_decode` function with the second parameter set to `true`. This will ensure that duplicate keys are preserved in the array. To access values with duplicate keys, you can iterate over the array and use the key to retrieve the corresponding value. 

$jsonData = '{"key1": "value1", "key2": "value2", "key1": "value3"}';
$arrayData = json_decode($jsonData, true);

foreach($arrayData as $key => $value) {
    echo "Key: $key, Value: $value\n";
}
