Joomla 3-从控制器任务返回原始数据

Question

Can someone tell me the correct way to return raw data without html from a task in my component?

I've tried index.php?option=com_mycomponent&task=mysubcontroller.mytask&format=raw and index.php?option=com_mycomponent&task=mysubcontroller.mytask&tmpl=component

But everything returns with html.

Can't seem to find anything written down anywhere to address this, which seems to be a recurring theme for me with Joomla!

Hope someone can help as I've had to create a new template called raw.php with only the jdoc include tag and call it like so:

index.php?option=com_mycomponent&task=mysubcontroller.mytask&tmpl=raw

That's a hack as far as I'm concerned because it is not a solution that is self contained within the component.

Hope someone can enlighten me.

Many thanks...

Ok so I've found out a little more about how to .

After a bit of searching on Stack Overflow, I found this which allows you to output just JSON:

Joomla Controller Task that returns JSON data

I feel a bit foolish for not seeing this before. Does anyone know if using JFactory::getApplication()->close(); will work with anything other than JSON?
