Is it recommended to use JSON for data transfer between PHP and JavaScript for further calculations?

Using JSON for data transfer between PHP and JavaScript is a common and recommended practice. JSON provides a lightweight and easy-to-parse format for exchanging data between the two languages. To transfer data from PHP to JavaScript, you can encode PHP arrays or objects into JSON using the `json_encode()` function in PHP. In JavaScript, you can then parse the JSON data using `JSON.parse()` to access the data for further calculations. 

<?php
// Sample data in PHP
$data = array(
    'name' => 'John Doe',
    'age' => 30,
    'email' => 'johndoe@example.com'
);

// Encode PHP data into JSON format
$json_data = json_encode($data);

// Pass JSON data to JavaScript
echo "<script> var jsonData = $json_data; </script>";
?>
