title: Loading Big Cartel JSON object in to external PHP
body: <p>We're fairly inexperience with json and are having trouble displaying an object from a json string from a Big Cartel store in to our WordPress site.</p>
  
  <p>So, if on our Big Cartel site, we load the following URL (which is just the link to the store's cart location with <em>.json</em> on the end):</p>
  
  <p>e.g. <strong>ourstore.com/cart.json</strong></p>
  
  <p>We get the following string of variables:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{"items":[{"id":59269479,"name":"Test 4","price":"8.0","unit_price":"4.0","shipping":0.0,"tax":0.0,"total":"4.0","quantity":2,"product":"test-4","option":59269479},{"id":59269434,"name":"Test 2","price":"2.0","unit_price":"1.0","shipping":0.0,"tax":0.0,"total":"1.0","quantity":2,"product":"test-2","option":59269434},{"id":59271363,"name":"Test 6","price":"544.0","unit_price":"544.0","shipping":0.0,"tax":0.0,"total":"544.0","quantity":1,"product":"test-6","option":59271363}],"item_count":5,"price":"554.0","total":"554.0"}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>From that string, we're basically just trying to display the <strong>"item_count":5</strong> variable in to the external WordPress site.</p>
  
  <p>If anyone has any ideas that would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!</p>
