Try below code

$dbjson = "{\"title\":\"\",\"description\":\"\",\"keywords\":\"\"}";

echo "<pre>";
$value = json_encode(json_decode($dbjson));
print_r($value); // output : {"title":"","description":"","keywords":""}
?>

Add JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES as last argument

echo json_encode(['test1' => '','test2' => '','test3' => ''],JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES)

Output

{"test1":"","test2":"","test3":""}
