<?php // ................. // nonce checks .... // ................. $return = array( 'message' => 'Saved', 'ID' => 1 ); wp_send_json($return);NOTE: not need to include wp_die() or exit(0) after using wp_send_json() as it automatically calls wp_die().
If this is a REST response (i.e. via the REST API), use WP_REST_Response or WP_Error, instead.
