Operating system: Any
PHP version: 5.2.14
Package: JSON related
Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Bug description:Add a PRETTY_PRINT flag or argument to json_encode
Description:
------------
When trying to debug a large amount of JSON output that has been created
using json_encode, it would be really nice to have an option to format the
output beautifully, with some line-breaks and indenting, so the the
generated JSON is easier to read.
Something a bit like the output of print_r.
Test script:
---------------
$bigarray = array();
for ($i = 0; $i < 100; $i++) {
$bigarray['key' . $i] = 'value' . $i;
}
echo json_encode($bigarray, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
// Will error, because I made up the JSON_PRETTY_PRINT constant name.
Expected result:
----------------
{
"key0":"value0",
"key1":"value1",
"key2":"value2",
...
}
Actual result:
--------------
{"key0":"value0","key1":"value1","key2":"value2",...
