Issue #16172 has been updated by Andrew Parker. Status changed from Unreviewed to Rejected
The data written to disk is a storage format. As such pretty printing is a questionable use of time and space on a code path that is supposed to be fast. I think if a user wants to read that data, I think it is reasonable that they use something to make it more human readable. It looks like the simplest thing would be to pipe the file to `python -mjson.tool` (got this snippet from <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/352098/how-to-pretty-print-json-script>) ---------------------------------------- Bug #16172: JSON should be pretty-printed when serialized to disk https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16172#change-70217 Author: Luke Kanies Status: Rejected Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: usability Target version: Affected Puppet version: 3.0.0-rc5 Keywords: Branch: Now that we're storing catalogs as json instead of yaml, it's painful that we don't pretty-print them. You have to go through a complicated process to read them at all, and if we just spared some carriage returns, it'd be much better. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
