GuzzleHttp\Client JSON Return as String

Question

I have very simple question, how to convert this strings to JSON ?

This string i am getting from Guzzle POST Request and here is code :

return $body->getBody()->getContents();

Result:

""k\n\n{\"success\":true,\"payload\":{\"id\":\"txn_ngS2aS9FY7raxy8JTUivAZCtWJy7EeznwPE8\"}}""

with var_dump result and what is that k before ?

string(79) "k {"success":true,"payload":{"id":"txn_eeM6T6Fvkq3Pr4AWtK2TKYmNwKmodNwVqJod"}}"

The string is already json_encoded, you should simply return the $body->getBody()->getContents().
