The jsonSeralize
method internally returns the value of the toArray
method. This method exists to implement PHP's JsonSerializable
interface, which allows developers to customize how a class is represented when using the json_encode
function.
1<?php
2
3use Illuminate\Support\Collection;
4
5// Create a new collection.
6$collection = new Collection([
7 'first', 'second', 'third'
8]);
9
10// Get the value that should be encoded with
11// json_encode.
12$value = $collection->jsonSerialize();
The $value
variable would contain a value similar to the following output:
1array (size=3)
2 0 => string 'first' (length=5)
3 1 => string 'second' (length=6)
4 2 => string 'third' (length=5)
