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

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.

Let's say I want to use an option to display or edit an existing JSON

file

using DSPF or EDTF, but I want to make sure it's in "pretty" mode to make
it easier to view or edit.
