I can't convert object to an array - arrays

Question

I am trying to make a shopping cart API route and I am stuck with this problem because when I am using this statement $carts = \Cart::session($session)->getContent();
I get an object like this:
"cart": {
"1": {
"id": 1,
"name": "Tort cu biscuiți",
"price": 20,
"quantity": "1",
"attributes": {
"image_path": "http://127.0.0.1:8000/storage/images/AkiGKJdxjKNtyoVI034RPL1drLsMntUxLfzqZplV.jpeg"
},
"conditions": []
},
"2": {
"id": 2,
"name": "Tort cu biscuiți",
"price": 20,
"quantity": 2,
"attributes": {
"image_path": "http://127.0.0.1:8000/storage/images/IkAhenLttHWaRD58hNZ460ykWCq7q1sih3vI9H5V.jpeg"
},
"conditions": []
}
}
and I want to convet this to be array of objects. I tryied $cart->toArray(); and didn't work, also I tiyed (array) $cart and I get this:
"cart": {
"\u0000*\u0000items": {
"1": {
"id": 1,
"name": "Tort cu biscuiți",
"price": 20,
"quantity": "1",
"attributes": {
"image_path": "http://127.0.0.1:8000/storage/images/AkiGKJdxjKNtyoVI034RPL1drLsMntUxLfzqZplV.jpeg"
},
"conditions": []
},
"2": {
"id": 2,
"name": "Tort cu biscuiți",
"price": 20,
"quantity": 2,
"attributes": {
"image_path": "http://127.0.0.1:8000/storage/images/IkAhenLttHWaRD58hNZ460ykWCq7q1sih3vI9H5V.jpeg"
},
"conditions": []
}
}
}
may I know what is the problem?

You can do it manuel like this:
$carts = \Cart::session($session)->getContent();
if ($carts) {
$cartsArray = json_decode($carts);
foreach($cartsArray->cart as &$cart){
$cart = (array) $cart;
}
}
dd($cartsArray);
