+ :param string $output: Output data override
+ :returns: void
+ :rtype: void
+
+ Sends finalized output data to the browser along with any server headers. It also stops benchmark
+ timers.
+
+ .. note:: This method is called automatically at the end of script execution, you won't need to
+ call it manually unless you are aborting script execution using ``exit()`` or ``die()`` in your code.
+
+ Example::
+ $response = array('status' => 'OK');
+
+ $this->output
+ ->set_status_header(200)
+ ->set_content_type('application/json', 'utf-8')
+ ->set_output(json_encode($response, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT | JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE | JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES))
+ ->_display();
+ exit;
+
+ .. note:: Calling this method manually without aborting script execution will result in duplicated output. \ No newline at end of file
