Howto generate json with smarty?

Question

In Smarty, is there a standard function or an easy way to generate json from an array, as json_encode() does in php?

I could not see it in Smarty docume

Answer 1

This should work. The @ makes smarty run the modifier against the whole array, otherwise it does it for each element.

{$myarray|@json_encode}

If $escape_html is enabled, you will need to use nofilter:

{$myarray|@json_encode nofilter}
