);
$builder->setStatus(404)->send($data) ;

    "status": false,
    "data": {
        "reply": "Resource not found."
    }

Advanced response

$data = array (

);
$builder->setMessage('Action completed')->setStatus(200)->send($data) ;

}

Method chaining.

New json member can be added using the setXXX methods. The sendie() method is to output the reponse and to die after that.

$builder->setName('Nithin')
    ->setSubject('English')
    ->setMark('90')
    ->setCustomNotes('Student of ZF2')
    ->sendie() ;

Will produce

{
    "status": true,
    "message": "Action completed",
    "name": "Nithin",
    "subject": "English",
    "mark": "90",
    "customNotes": "Student of ZF2"
}
