Ben Hoyt added the comment:
I agree with the confusion (PR proposes separators=COMPACT, issue compact=True).
I like the concept but not either of the APIs proposed. I *much* more often
want to get pretty output -- if I had a dime for every time I've written
"json.dumps(obj, sort_keys=True, indent=4)" I'd be rich enough to buy an entire
cup of Starbucks coffee. But then you'd need a pretty=True option as well,
which would be mutually exclusive with compact=True, so not great.
But what about a style= (or "format="?) parameter, which defaults to 'default'
(or just None) meaning the same as now. If you pass format='pretty' you get
"sort_keys=True, indent=4" and if you pass format='compact' you get
"separators=(',', ':')".
