Outputting JSON response from within an addon

[Tcalp]

I am looking to send some json data from an addon module, but it's being wrapped with output for the WHMCS admin console. How do I prevent that from happening ?

[sentq]

it's simple echo your json data and exit, just like that

 

<?php

function addonexample_output($vars){

   $json = array("result" => "success", "message" => "Message Content");

   echo json_encode($json);
   exit;

}

?>

The answer above should be enough for most cases, but you might want to set up the HTTP headers to mark the content as a JSON as well.

Just adding

header('Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8');

to your code before  echoing the JSON object (as described in sentq's comment) should do the trick.
