CodeIgniter从控制器返回数据

Question

I'm using CodeIgniter for a project I'm working on.

I have an ajax call in a view like this:

$.ajax({
    type: 'GET',
    url: 'extra/search/infojson/' + $(this).text().replace(/\s/g, "+");
    success: function(data) {
        /* Do something with that data */
    }

});

infojson is a method in a controller that takes a parameter of 'username', does a search, and will return a JSON object. Is there any way I can return this data without having to create another view for it? This method will only be used to return such data from this one page, so I can't see why I need to create another view just for that. I've read about _output() but it didn't make any sense to me.

If you are compressing the output in your configuration file try to set $config[‘compress_output’] = FALSE;
