### Example

[](#example)

Using the `ApiResponder` trait for handling JSON responses:

```
use Illuminate\Http\Response;
use Decodeblock\ApiUtility\Traits\ApiResponder;

class YourController extends Controller
{
    use ApiResponder;

    public function index()
    {
        return $this->successResponse("Hello, API Utility", Response::HTTP_OK, null);
    }
}
