AJAX Send array as response from Laravel

I am trying to send from Laravel a response to an AJAX post request.

public function infoRoute(Request $request)
    {
        // Get info
        $ship_id = $request->ship_id;
        $startDate = $request->datepicker_start;
        $endDate = $request->datepicker_end;

        // Get all the locations between those dates
        $routeArray = $this->measurementRepository->getCoordinates($ship_id, $startDate, $endDate);

        $ship = $this->shipRepository->getShipForId($ship_id);
        $info = $this->createRouteArrayForShip($ship, $routeArray);

        if($request->ajax()) {
            return response()->json(json_encode($info));
        }
    }

    protected function createRouteArrayForShip($ship, $routeArray)
    {
        $info['type'] = "showRoute";

        $index = 0;

        foreach($routeArray as $coordinates)
        {
            $info['info']['route']['loc'. $index] = $coordinates;
            $index++;
        }

        $info['info']['shipInfo'] = $ship;

        //dd($info);
        return $info;
    }

When I receive the information and process it with jQuery, everything shows except from the route, that is empty.

Thank you,

The response()->json() method converts the given array into JSON using the json_encode() PHP function behind the scene. Therefor you should remove your json_encode() from inside the response()->json() call.

Basically it should look like this

return response()->json($info);
