Magento 2: Is there a way to return custom json response from REST API without building a data interface?












0















I have a few custom REST API interfaces on my module & they all need to return a standard json response (different on each).

After a little research, I realized that I can't do something like @return object & that echo json_encode($res);die; is discouraged & that I can build a custom data interface with a getter method for every field.

For my specific needs, it'll require very long files with tons of getter methods (I have to return a specific structure of fields as json).




Is there a way to build this data interface without creating a method for every field in the response?

e.g. something that I can load with an array/object or even a json encoded string & it'll just reply with that without any change.

*I know that I can return json_encode(...); & define the return type as a string, but it's wrapping it with quotes ("{...}") & escapes & I don't want it that way.

-- Any Idea?
