Error in Json Data : Laravel 5.1

Question

What is it about ?

I am adding the elements in an array and finally trying to convert that array into Json. Below is the code.

$SubCategoryList = array();
array_push($SubCategoryList, 
 array(
 'SubCategoryID' => 1,
 'FirstName' => 'First Name',
 'LastName' => 'Last Name',
 ));
array_push($SubCategoryList, 
 array(
 'SubCategoryID' => 2,
 'FirstName' => 'First Name2',
 'LastName' => 'Last Name2',
 ));

The above gives below mentioned output

Array
(
 [0] => Array
 (
 [SubCategoryID] => 1
 [FirstName] => First Name
 [LastName] => Last Name
 )
 [1] => Array
 (
 [SubCategoryID] => 2
 [FirstName] => First Name2
 [LastName] => Last Name2
 )
)

Below is the code used for converting the array into Json.

<script>
 var subCategoriesList = {{ json_encode($SubCategoryList) }};
</script>

and Finally json gives below output. Which can be seen in View source

var subCategoriesList = [{"SubCategoryID":1,"FirstName":
"First Name","LastName":"Last Name"},
{"SubCategoryID":2,"FirstName":"First Name2",
"LastName":"Last Name2"}];

Question

Why it gives " in the json data ?

• Revolver_Ocelot: It is not completely clear what the problem is. In JSON both key in pair and string value are quoted

Answer 1

The JSON string uses quotes to show where a value starts and ends in basic terms.

Give

 var subCategoriesList = {!! $SubCategoryList !!};

a go. This will echo out an unescaped string for json.
