What are some tips for effectively transferring PHP arrays to Javascript using JSON?

When transferring PHP arrays to Javascript using JSON, it is important to encode the PHP array into JSON format using the `json_encode()` function in PHP. This function will convert the PHP array into a JSON string that can be easily transferred to Javascript. In Javascript, you can then use the `JSON.parse()` function to convert the JSON string back into a Javascript object. 

<?php
// PHP array to be transferred to Javascript
$phpArray = array("apple", "banana", "cherry");

// Encode PHP array into JSON format
$jsonArray = json_encode($phpArray);
?>

<script>
// Transfer JSON string to Javascript
var jsArray = <?php echo $jsonArray; ?>;

// Parse JSON string into Javascript object
var parsedArray = JSON.parse(jsArray);

// Access elements of the Javascript array
console.log(parsedArray[0]); // Output: "apple"
console.log(parsedArray[1]); // Output: "banana"
console.log(parsedArray[2]); // Output: "cherry"
</script>
