How to return value as json in laravel?

To return a value as JSON in Laravel, you can use the response helper function along with the json method.

Here is an example of how to return a value as JSON:

1. Inside your controller method, use the response function and chain the json method onto it.

public function getJsonData()
{
    $data = [
        'name' => 'John Doe',
        'email' => 'johndoe@example.com',
    ];

    return response()->json($data);
}

1. You can also use the json method directly on the response instance.

public function getJsonData()
{
    $data = [
        'name' => 'John Doe',
        'email' => 'johndoe@example.com',
    ];

    return response()->json($data);
}

In both cases, the response will be converted to a JSON format and the appropriate headers will be set automatically.
