Hi, Leon,

Thank you for your reply. But I'm not sure what you mean by JSON logic? 
I understand that
pretty and not-pretty JSON should have the same content, but just 
difference display effects.
Do you mean that they only need to have the same structure?

Or, let's get back to this question. In the JSON format output, the 
newline() here seems
unnecessary, because json_print() can solve the line break problems 
during printing.
So I think the newline() here can be removed at least when outputting in 
JSON format.

Thanks,
Chengchang Tang
