Json Parsing Error with Laravel

Question

I want to get json from url but when i try the dd($data) i got parse error on line 1: bla bla expect string error.

First, i doubted with my json object is invalid then i tried with jsontest object but i got still same error. Here is the simple code:

    $stationData = file_get_contents("http://ip.jsontest.com/");
    $stationData = json_decode($stationData);
    dd($stationData);

And, this is the error message:

Error: Parse error on line 1:
{#149 ▼  +"ip": "95.
-^
Expecting 'STRING', '}'

If i use json_decode($data, true) i got valid array instead of json object.

What's wrong with this?

what happens when you do print_r for example print_r($stationData->ip); instead of dd($stationData)? — Jakob

I've executed your code just right now? And no errors occurred. My output {#144 ▼ +"ip": "104.155.78.120" } — huuuk

As huuk and PeterPan666 said this is not laravel error. I was using jsonformatter plugin with my chrome, error was coming from plugin. It solved. Thanks for helping.
