      • toString

        public java.lang.String toString()
        Converts this JSON collection into a parsable string representation. Warning: This method assumes that the data structure is acyclical. Starting in release 5.2, the result will be pretty printed for readability.
        Overrides:
        toString in class java.lang.Object
        Returns:
        a printable, displayable, portable, transmittable representation of the object, beginning with { (left brace) and ending with } (right brace).
      • toString

        public java.lang.String toString​(boolean compact)
        Converts the JSONObject to a compact or pretty-print string representation
        Parameters:
        compact - if true, return minimal format string.

        5.2.0
      • toCompactString

        public java.lang.String toCompactString()
        Prints the JSONObject as a compact string (not extra punctuation). This is, essentially, what Tapestry 5.1 did inside toString().
      • print

        public void print​(java.io.PrintWriter writer,
                          boolean compact)
        Prints the JSONObject to the write (compactly or not).
        Parameters:
        writer - to write content to
        compact - if true, then write compactly, if false, write with pretty printing
