Re: Making existing JSON "pretty" before EDTF or DSPF

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Err...  well... YAJL is open source.

If you wanted to do this with YAJL, here's what comes to mind:

1) call yajl_stmf_load_tree
2) call yajl_stringify.  Currently this does not have an option to 
beautify the code, though, so you'd need to add a new optional parameter 
to the subprocedure to make it do a beautify.  If you look at the 
current stringify code, you can see where it's setting beautify to 0, so 
you'd just need to check if the parm is passed and is *on, pass a 1 instead.
3) write the output of stringify to the temp file.
4) Clean stuff up, etc.
