Json Helper
Json helper provides a set of static methods for encoding and decoding JSON.
It handles encoding errors and the [[yii\helpers\Json::encode()]]
method will not encode a JavaScript expression that is represented in
terms of a [[yii\web\JsExpression]]
object.
By default, ecoding is done with the JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES | JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE
options.
Please see PHP:json_encode for more information.
Pretty Print
By default the [[yii\helpers\Json::encode()]]
method will output unformatted JSON (e.g. without whitespaces).
To make it more readable for humans you can turn on "pretty printing".
Note: Pretty Print can useful for debugging during development but is not recommended in a production environment.
To enable pretty print in a single instance you can specify it as an option. E.g.
$data = ['a' => 1, 'b' => 2];
$json = yii\helpers\Json::encode($data, JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES | JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE | JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
You can also enable pretty printing of the JSON helper globally. For example in your config for or index.php:
yii\helpers\Json::$prettyPrint = YII_DEBUG; // use "pretty" output in debug mode
