Jochen Kemnade commented on TAP5-2098:
--------------------------------------
> I'm not sure what it has to do with pretty printing,
I'd like to be able to use new JSONObject("{a:1, b:2}").toString(false) and I
think it would be nice to get
{
"a" : 1,
"b" : 2
}
in that case, which, at the moment, you don't.
> but we're not going to add new functionality on top of JSON's rather precise
> specification.
This is not about adding new functionality. I don't want to add an order()
method to JSONObject. Using a LinkedHashMap for the properties, with all the
consequences to ordering, is as much according to the specification as using a
HashMap. It's not that you mustn't keep the properties in the order in which
they are added but that you don't have to.
I think a LinkedHashMap-backed JSONObject would behave more like most people
would expect. And I don't see a way to make it behave that way. The properties
field is private, the class is final and I cannot pass a backing map in any of
the constructors. Would you be open to changing any of those limitations?
