Jack,

I specifically said YAJL, not open source. Yes, YAJL is open source, but I
think you knew by "open source" meant not something outside the realm of
that, specifically requiring python, node, etc.

Thanks to Scott for providing some info and something to look into.

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.

And Scott's 4th point above, aye, there's the rub.

"Clean stuff up" means "use the open source tool appropriate for that
particular task".
