I have an array that I am trying to merge. The merging is dependent upon the key, the parent keys and the depth of the array. I can manipulate the array in a number of ways to achieve unique key values. The outcome is technically a binary search tree. I have attached two files json_in.txt is what I currently have and json_out.txt is what I want. You will notice that the json_in file has some unique key names in order to merge and the json_out file just has "name" and "children" keys. My plan was to use preg_replace_all to remove the digits from the json string after the array was merged, but if you know a better way then great!
Again, I am trying to make the json array in json_in.txt into json_out.txt and I can manipulate the key of json_in to whatever is needed in order to accomplish this.
