Need an option for prettifying the output string

[kevinresol]

as in std lib you can do haxe.Json.stringify(obj, '\t') to make the output tab-indented.

We can do this, although it will hurt performance, because the writer will have to calculate at runtime many parts that now are constant. Currently, we have the prefix in '{"key":'+value already precomposed. And we'd have to cut the constant into three bits.

Do you need this for debugging only? In that case roundtripping through the haxe.Json will do :D

On a more serious note, a streaming json formater might actually be a useful tool, even beyond tink_json. It would just keep a stack for the current state and insert white space at the appropriate places as data passes through. So it wouldn't have to ever create the actual values in memory.

Well, debugging is one point, but I also prefer outputting formatted json on my REST api.
