Bikeshedding about the exact form of the JSON pretty printing and brace handling will only be accepted in the form of patches. ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-12-08 12:05:52] pankaj dot khairnar at live dot com yes it will be a real nice feature of json_encode function and I am expecting it to same. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-03-04 20:05:37] jeremy at duckwizard dot com Description: ------------ One of the appeals of JSON is that it is human readable. However, json_encode produces output that is not particularly manageable by a human - little more so than PHP's own serialization. DOM, for example, has a formatOutput option that nicely indents the resulting XML. A similar option for json_encode would be extremely helpful. Reproduce code: --------------- $obj = new stdClass; $obj->field1 = "hello"; $obj->field2 = "world"; $obj->field3 = array("key" => "value", "level2" => array(1,2,3)); echo json_encode($obj, JSON::FORMAT_OUTPUT); //flags are an implementation example Expected result: ---------------- { "field1":"hello", "field2":"world", "field3": { "key":"value", "level2": [1,2,3] } } Actual result: -------------- {"field1":"hello","field2":"world","field3":{"key":"value","level2":[1,2,3]}} ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=44331&edit=1
