I am using the davidsadler PHP ebay SDK to integrate ebay in my PHP application. Each answer is in the form of this xml type. I repeated
before this response to see it clearly.

I tried converting this answer to json using the json_encode function of php and simplexml_load_file functions etc. But the converted data is always empty. Any help would be appreciated.
Update: The problem was solved in the new version of the eBay PHP SDK, which is 0.1.3. He added a new method in BaseType, which is toArray (), which converts the response into a linked array. Thanks davidsadler. Link to the change log
