Bug #66021 [NEW]: Blank line inside empty array/object when JSON_PRETTY_PRINT is set

From: pleasestand at live dot com Operating system: PHP version: master-Git-2013-11-02 (Git) Package: JSON related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Blank line inside empty array/object when JSON_PRETTY_PRINT is set Description: ------------ The JSON_PRETTY_PRINT option to json_encode() causes a blank line to be inserted between the brackets or braces of an empty array or object. This is not how one would write out JSON by hand. Furthermore, it is inconsistent with JavaScript's JSON.stringify() and Python's json.dumps(). I think this may be unintentional because there is no test that shows the author of cb9c8233fc2d (r303425) had considered these cases (and chose not to put the brackets/braces on the same line). I will submit a GitHub pull request shortly to fix this. Test script: --------------- <?php echo json_encode([[],(object)[]], JSON_PRETTY_PRINT), "\n"; Expected result: ---------------- [ [], {} ] Actual result: -------------- [ [ ], { } ] -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66021&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66021&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66021&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66021&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66021&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66021&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66021&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66021&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66021&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66021&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66021&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66021&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66021&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66021&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66021&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66021&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66021&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66021&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66021&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66021&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66021&r=mysqlcfg
