What is the expected behavior?

I want no error execution.

What is the current behavior?

What are the steps to reproduce?

Please provide a Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example of code that exhibits the issue without relying on an external Excel file or a web server:

<?php

// CodeIgniter code
namespace App\Controllers\Document;

use App\Controllers\BaseController;
use PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Spreadsheet;

class Download extends BaseController
{
    public function getExportXml($doc_id) {

// add code that show the issue here...
        $spreadsheet = new \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Spreadsheet();

// rest of the file
        return 'success';
    }
}

If this is an issue with reading a specific spreadsheet file, then it may be appropriate to provide a sample file that demonstrates the problem; but please keep it as small as possible, and sanitize any confidential information before uploading.

### What features do you think are causing the issue

PhpSpreadsheet.php file itself

### Does an issue affect all spreadsheet file formats? If not, which formats are affected?
Yes, I cannot even create an PhpSpreadsheet Object.

### Which versions of PhpSpreadsheet and PHP are affected?
PhpSpreadsheet 2.1.0
PHP 8.2.12

Behavior is deliberate - Spreadsheet objects cannot be serialized or json encoded. See PR #3199.

[konsoft1]

But I never serialized or json encoded the Spreadsheet object. I just created the object.

[oleibman]

Something is calling json_encode. But it is not called anywhere inside PhpSpreadsheet. I see the following external JSON calls in your stack trace.

#1 E:\Work\sanarena\project\invctrlpan\system\Format\JSONFormatter.php(42): json_encode(Array, 960, 512)
#2 E:\Work\sanarena\project\invctrlpan\system\API\ResponseTrait.php(357): CodeIgniter\Format\JSONFormatter->format(Array)

Is it possible that you have a Spreadsheet object in your array when this code is invoked?
