How to send in json format with cakePHP

A0006 001227

I want to send data in json format in cakePHP.

Good evening, this is Bono.
It seems there was an earthquake of intensity 4 in Miyagi just now. That was pretty long.

I was making a map service and had a situation like that, but it seemed so simple that I didn't understand it surprisingly, so I'm leaving it here.

XXXController.php

    return new CakeResponse(array('body' => json_encode(array(
        'content'=> $data['Question']['content'],
        'place_lat'=> $data['Question']['place_lat'],
        'place_lng'=> $data['Question']['place_lng']
    ))));

Add this sentence to the end of the controller.

Incidentally, Question here is the model name, and content, place_lat, and place_lng are the column names.

XXX.ctp

$("#questionBtn").bind("click",
    function (e){
        $.ajax({
            data: $("#questionBtn").closest("form").serialize(),
            dataType: "json",
            success: function (data){
                console.log("私は"+data.place_lat +", " +data.content);
                plusMarker(data);
            },
            type: "post",
            url: "getAjax"
        });
        return false;
    }
);

This time, a form is used, and when the questionBtn is pressed, data is sent to the getAjax action of XXXController using Ajax.

Then the above XXXController sends a response in json format, which is passed to the plusMarker() function.

Data is in json format. Checked console.log to be sure.
