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 this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66021&edit=1
