How can I retrieve the post thumbnail (featured image) as an array?
Using get_post_thumbnail() I noticed in the WP documentation that there is a third parameter from, which I understand, one would be able to set it to return the values as an array instead of a string, but I can't figure out how.
The reason I want to return the image as an array is to exclude unnecessary attributes in the output such as 'wp-post-image' etc.

Problem solved:

$image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id(), $size);

The solution is to use wp_get_attachment_image_src. As per the Codex:

$attachment_id = 8; $size = 'full'; // returns an array $image_attributes = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $attachment_id, $size );

Although the return is said to be:

[0] => url [1] => width [2] => height

There is a fourth element that indicates if it is the full image (false) or an intermediate image (true): 

[3] => is_intermediate
