Как конвертировать шестнадцатеричные коды в данные JSON с помощью PHP

У меня есть контент, созданный с помощью Drupal CMS, который содержит строки вроде:

"... \n Proficient knowledge of \x3cstrong\x3emedical\x3c/strong\x3e terminology; typing skills at 40 wpm. Excellent communication and ... which involves access to sensitive and/or confidential \x3cstrong\x3emedical\x3c/strong\x3e information. Must demonstrate leadership skills in decision making and ..." 

Я пытаюсь передать эти данные как json, но это не подтверждается. Я думаю, это потому, что символы типа \x3c возможно, должны быть в формате более длинного 6 символов (см. Http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4627 , раздел 2.5. – Строки ).

Это на самом деле проблема? И если это так, есть ли хороший способ конвертировать формат?

EDIT: вот два полных образца json, которые не проверяют
