class JsonResponse extends Response

Response represents an HTTP response in JSON format.

Note that this class does not force the returned JSON content to be an object. It is however recommended that you do return an object as it protects yourself against XSSI and JSON-JavaScript Hijacking.

bool isCacheable()

Returns true if the response may safely be kept in a shared (surrogate) cache.

Responses marked "private" with an explicit Cache-Control directive are considered uncacheable.

Responses with neither a freshness lifetime (Expires, max-age) nor cache validator (Last-Modified, ETag) are considered uncacheable because there is no way to tell when or how to remove them from the cache.

Note that RFC 7231 and RFC 7234 possibly allow for a more permissive implementation, for example "status codes that are defined as cacheable by default [...] can be reused by a cache with heuristic expiration unless otherwise indicated" (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-6.1)

Return Value

bool

bool isFresh()

Returns true if the response is "fresh".

Fresh responses may be served from cache without any interaction with the origin. A response is considered fresh when it includes a Cache-Control/max-age indicator or Expires header and the calculated age is less than the freshness lifetime.

Return Value

bool

bool isValidateable()

Returns true if the response includes headers that can be used to validate the response with the origin server using a conditional GET request.

Return Value

bool

$this setPrivate()

It makes the response ineligible for serving other clients.

Return Value

$this

$this setPublic()

Marks the response as "public".

It makes the response eligible for serving other clients.

Return Value

$this

$this setImmutable(bool $immutable = true)

Return Value

$this

bool isImmutable()

Returns true if the response is marked as "immutable".

Return Value

bool

bool mustRevalidate()

Returns true if the response must be revalidated by caches.

This method indicates that the response must not be served stale by a cache in any circumstance without first revalidating with the origin. When present, the TTL of the response should not be overridden to be greater than the value provided by the origin.

Return Value

bool

int|null getMaxAge()

Returns the number of seconds after the time specified in the response's Date header when the response should no longer be considered fresh.
