What is the best way to extract a specific value from a JSON file in PHP?

To extract a specific value from a JSON file in PHP, you can first read the contents of the JSON file and decode it into an associative array using the `json_decode()` function. Then, you can access the specific value you need by navigating through the array using the keys. 

<?php

// Read the JSON file
$jsonData = file_get_contents('data.json');

// Decode the JSON data into an associative array
$data = json_decode($jsonData, true);

// Access the specific value you need
$specificValue = $data['key']['nested_key'];

// Output the specific value
echo $specificValue;

?>
