Friends Response Data wrapped in [ ] brackets

[KindaIntellectual]

I'm trying to grab the friends of my xuid but the JSON returns as invalid due to the [ ] brackets...

I admit I'm a complete noob at coding so if this is what it is supposed to do, or if there is some super simple way to fix this that I can't find please point me in the right direction!

Thank you

Wait ok,

Does the friends results start with [ because the array itself is 'friends'? i.e. friends[0], friends[1], etc?

The JSON is correct as its using the internal function json_encode(). Please see https://github.com/XboxLeaders/XboxLiveAPI/blob/master/src/includes/classes/base.class.php#L519-L529

Within JSON its like Javascript, [] is an array and {} is an object. Please read up on how to use JSON - json_encode() and json_decode().

Closing as this is not an issue with the API.

Thanks for such a fast reply. I know that the brackets make it an array, but I can't call the indexes of an array without a name, i.e. friends[0]. But in the output file there isn't one it just starts with [

I assumed it was an issue with the api since a Json validity checker returned the code/link as invalid due to it starting with [

So my question still remains, how do I call the indexes of this array? Sorry for such a dumb question...
