Question

I was trying to get a json in an javascript variable. I use fluid-templates in my extbase typo3-extension. In my action I load some json with curl. This json I assign to the template. In my template it looks like:

<script type="text/javascript">
var json = {jsonVarFromControllerAction};
</script>

In this case the json is interpreted as html-code. It looks like:

{"content":"testcontent"}

In the controller-action its an correct json!

{"content": "testcontent"}

Whats the solution?

Answer 1

I wrote my own viewhelper. This viewhelper only gets the json-content and html_entity_decode it.

public function render($json)
{
    return html_entity_decode($json);
}

It works well, but i ask myself, why i should write an helper to get the pure content of my own variables?
