New json member can be added using the setXXX methods. The sendie() method is to output the reponse and to die after that.

```
$builder->setName('Nithin')
    ->setSubject('English')
    ->setMark('90')
    ->setCustomNotes('Student of ZF2')
    ->sendie() ;
```

Will produce

```
{
    "status": true,
    "message": "Action completed",
    "name": "Nithin",
    "subject": "English",
    "mark": "90",
    "customNotes": "Student of ZF2"
}
```
