note 119698 added to function.json-encode

Please note that there was an (as of yet) undocumented change to the json_encode() function between 2 versions of PHP with respect to JSON_PRETTY_PRINT: In version 5.4.21 and earlier, an empty array [] using JSON_PRETTY_PRINT would be rendered as 3 lines, with the 2nd one an empty (indented) line, i.e.: "data": [ ], In version 5.4.34 and above, an empty array [] using JSON_PRETTY_PRINT would be rendered as exactly [] at the spot where it occurs, i.e. "data: [], This is not mentioned anywhere in the PHP changelist and migration documentations; neither on the json_encode documentation page. This is very useful to know when you are parsing the JSON using regular expressions to manually insert portions of data, as is the case with my current use-case (working with JSON exports of over several gigabytes requires sub-operations and insertion of data). ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 31.151.125.130 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.json-encode.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/119698 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119698/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119698/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119698/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119698/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119698/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119698/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119698 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/119698 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
