Use JSON_PARTIAL_OUTPUT_ON_ERROR (--json-partial-output-on-error) flag with json_encode(). This allows for partial response to be output in case of an exception while serializing to JSON. If an error occurs, the wgGetConfigurationJsonErrorOccurred field is set in the output.

Terminal

$ php maintenance/run.php getConfiguration --format json --json-partial-output-on-error
