Normaly I use this

> $this-\>response-\>getBody()-\>write(json\_encode($array));

from a controller/action,

but is there a better way always to get a json stream back to client???

Thank you for any hint.

Michael

Thanks a lot for this but this is just a response with pane json string as from ajax request.

I’m still have this problem. ☹
