              "created_at": "Edinburgh",
              "updated_at": "Edinburgh"
            },
             {
              "DT_RowId": "row_2",

              "clear": "Nixon",
              "fsssf": "System Architect",
              "tex": "t.nixon@datatables.net",
              "created_at": "Edinburgh",

Have a look at the documentation.

You can use toJson(),to convert the collection to json object.

$users = DB::table('users')->get()->toJson();
dd($users);

You can also can do this in simple php way by using json_encode function

$users = json_encode($users);
