Bug description: Formatting option for json_encode
Description:
------------
One of the appeals of JSON is that it is human readable. However,
json_encode produces output that is not particularly manageable by a human
- little more so than PHP's own serialization. DOM, for example, has a
formatOutput option that nicely indents the resulting XML. A similar
option for json_encode would be extremely helpful.
Reproduce code:
---------------
$obj = new stdClass;
$obj->field1 = "hello";
$obj->field2 = "world";
$obj->field3 = array("key" => "value", "level2" => array(1,2,3));
echo json_encode($obj, JSON::FORMAT_OUTPUT);
//flags are an implementation example
Expected result:
----------------
{
"field1":"hello",
"field2":"world",
"field3":
{
"key":"value",
"level2": [1,2,3]
}
}
Actual result:
--------------
{"field1":"hello","field2":"world","field3":{"key":"value","level2":[1,2,3]}}
