Denis Jakupovic updated GROOVY-11314: ------------------------------------- Description: Hi, the groovy.json package is widely used. [https://github.com/apache/groovy/blob/master/subprojects/groovy-json/src/main/java/groovy/json/JsonOutput.java] If we use the toPrettyString function the json is being escaped. {code:java} JsonBuilder Class: public String toPrettyString() { return JsonOutput.prettyPrint(toString()); } {code} However, we can construct a JsonBuilder with JsonGenerator and disableUnicodeEscaping, this is not possible with JsonOutput though because there is a final constructor. However it is true in default. It would be great if the JsonOutput had the same feature to construct JsonOutput with a custom JsonGenerator. The JsonOutput object uses the DefaultJsonGenerator with enabled unicode escaping through Options. {code:java} JsonOutput Class: case STRING: String textStr = token.getText(); String textWithoutQuotes = textStr.substring(1, textStr.length() - 1); if (textWithoutQuotes.length() > 0) { output.addJsonEscapedString(textWithoutQuotes); } else { output.addQuoted(Chr.array()); } break; {code} And here: [https://github.com/apache/groovy/blob/master/subprojects/groovy-json/src/main/java/org/apache/groovy/json/internal/CharBuf.java#L379] {code:java} public final CharBuf addJsonEscapedString(final char[] charArray, boolean disableUnicodeEscaping) { if (charArray.length == 0) return this; if (hasAnyJSONControlChars(charArray, disableUnicodeEscaping)) { return doAddJsonEscapedString(charArray, disableUnicodeEscaping); } else { return this.addQuoted(charArray); } } {code} *If the JsonBuilder is constructed with a JsonGenerator it should be constructed with JsonOuput as well and the prettyPrint function shall not add escaped strings.* *The Bug is in JsonOutput.* This has to be fixed: {code:java} case STRING: String textStr = token.getText(); String textWithoutQuotes = textStr.substring(1, textStr.length() - 1); if (textWithoutQuotes.length() > 0) { output.addJsonEscapedString(textWithoutQuotes, disableUnicodeEscaping); } else { output.addQuoted(Chr.array()); } break; {code} output.addJsonEscapedString(textWithoutQuotes, disableUnicodeEscaping) should be called with disableUnicodeEscaping. Currently there is no way to prettyPrint a json with the groovy.json classes without having escaped characters in the generated json. Best Denis was: Hi, the groovy.json package is widely used.
