I apologize in advance if this is a silly question! I've read up on decoding JSON responses, but I can't seem to get this response into a format that's usable.
I'm submitting an GET request via a Wordpress plugin. In order to preview the output so I'd know how to parse it, I used the code
print_r($response, true)
The result I get is:

I can narrow it down by using
$response['body']
but that gives me a string wrapped in both brackets and braces [{}]. From there, I can't treat it as JSON or an array without fatal errors.
What I'm trying to achieve is narrowing it down so I can foreach to programmatically add the data within [body] into database entries in the receiving site.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!!
EDIT: I realize this is similar to other questions on here, but none of the existing questions I found tackled the complexity of JSON responses that are not simple key, value pairs. Even across other sites I was not able to find a clear solution to responses that combined both multidimensional arrays and JSON responses. Thanks for the help!
