[Pharo-users] Re: JSON without lf?

I am confused. How is “control the newLine” the same as “without LF”? On Windows, newline is CRLF, the Internet convention is CRLF, elsewhere, even on macOS, it is LF. Are you wanting the old MacOS CR convention? On Tue, 14 Apr 2026 at 6:29 AM, stephane ducasse via Pharo-users < pharo-users@lists.pharo.org> wrote:

Hi

My tests are about the documentation of a configuration written in JSON and wanted to have nicely formatted and not a bad one liner. So this is why I want to use the pretty printer but control the newLine: so I did it without the facade

^ String streamContents: [ :s | | writer | writer := STONWriter new. writer on: s. writer jsonMode: true. writer prettyPrint: true; newLine: newline; ….

This way I controlled the nature of the newLine:

S

Isn‘t toJSonString: what you want? Without the pretty which is adding the newlines?

Hi

I would like to know if there is a way to generate JSON without lf?

toJsonStringPretty: is generating lf and this is painful for tests.
