Sending JSON from Plugin to template in a redirect?

Question

I have a plugin that loops through some code and builds an array of results then redirects the user to a results page. How can I pass the results to the redirected page without using the URL segment? The results can be converted to JSON if needed.

Parse those variables! Then just dump them out in template tags.

You use the template class to pass your variables through the EE template engine, then you can just make a loop out of your results in your template:

{exp:my_plugin parameterone="666"}
    A result:
    {result_array}
        {result_variable_one}
        {result_variable_two}
    {/result_array}
{/exp:my_plugin}
