response as json

[Blesta Addons]

what is the difference beetwen

            $myJSON = json_encode($response);
            echo $myJSON;
            die();

and

			$this->outputAsJson($response);
			die();

 

because the first one is giving me the right server answer i want and the second it give a security error and empty response .

Calling ::outputAsJson sets the content-type header to JSON for the response. It really depends on what you're using it for, but I would expect in a controller method that returns an AJAX response, you use ::outputAsJson:

$data = [...];
$this->outputAsJson($data);
return false;
