c# - How to turn on indentation when writing JSON using Json.net?

Question

I am using Json.Net to serialize XML into Json . When i write the serialized string to a file it all comes in a single line . How do i get it to actually look like Json with the usual tabs and indentation?

Answer 1

Set the JSON writer Formatting property to Formatting.Indented:

jsonWriter.Formatting = Formatting.Indented;

The JsonConvert.Serialize* methods also have overloads that take a Formatting enum (thanks John Flatness).
