Recommended way to return a JSON

[ivamluz]

In case I create an action that returns either HTML or JSON (depending on the content-type header), is there a recommended way to return JSON content?

Should I create a view that is responsible for encoding the data as JSON or is there any method in the controller that can be called directly to return JSON, instead of setting a parameter in the view?

I do this all the time. I do it in the controller. I just send a json content type header, echo a json_encode of an array or object, and add a die statement to prevent the view rendering. You can switch on a $param (get line) or anything else you want to determine json output. HTH!

@cyberscribe How to you set the content type header? Having no luck on setting it.

header('Content-type: application/json'); echo json_encode([]); die();
