'Json_Encode not returning html even i try to encode JSON_HEX_QUOT | JSON_HEX_TAG

I want to return HTML from PHP. I found a solution from StackOverflow which is insert JSON_HEX_QUOT | JSON_HEX_TAG after array in json_encode but it does not work for me. If I simply echo it right away it's working and displays the text on page but it doesn't work with json_encode.

Here is my code:

<?php 
    header('Content-Type: application/json');
    $servername = "localhost";
    $username = "root";
    $password = "";
    $dbname = "mcblog";
    $conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
    $sql = "select ID,post_parent,post_title,post_content,post_date from wp_posts where post_content<>'' and post_title<>'' order by post_date desc limit 0,10";
    $result = $conn->query($sql);
    $data=array();
    $row = $result->fetch_assoc();  
    $html=strip_tags($row["post_content"]);
    $snippetData=array('status'=>'1','data'=>$row["post_content"]);
    echo json_encode($snippetData, JSON_HEX_QUOT | JSON_HEX_TAG);
?>

Solution 1:[1]

I wanted to achieve HTML without tags and return that result in JSON format. So I done it with this:

echo json_encode(array("id"=>"1","data" => utf8_encode(strip_tags($row["post_content"]))));

Exp:

$jsonData = json_encode($string, JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES | JSON_PRETTY_PRINT );


JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES  = Allows you to use "//" characters.
JSON_PRETTY_PRINT = Writes the json data legibly.
