    I don't know PHP JSON but it looks to me like each item is
    string-ified
    and hence the extra escaping for ". Note the extra "s around { ...
    } here:

        {"items":["{ ... }",...

    If you can avoid that string-ification, I think it should work out.


Sadly; I can't as far as I can tell.

If you look at http://gggeek.altervista.org/sw/article_20061113.html you notice that every single php library puts the keys into strings.

The RFC linked from json.org <http://json.org> even contains examples which have quoted keys: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt?number=4627 (page 7);

That probably explains why people implement their solutions like that; and will continue to do so.
Sorry I didn't explain that well. I meant

   {"items":["{ ... }",...

should be

   {"items":[{ ... },...

"items" is fine. In your original example, the red part (if your email client shows HTML) shouldn't be quoted:

{"items":["{\"label\":\"Daniel\",\"id\":1,\"imageURL\":\"http:\\\/\\\/images.google.com.au\\\/images?q=tbn:7-rLOervtN554M:http:\\\/\\\/www.advancedaquarist.com\\\/2005\\\/7\\\/fish_album\\\/AA2.jpg\",\"age\":18}"]}
