# Description
This is a minor breaking change to JSON output syntax/style of the `to
json` command.
This fixes#13326 by setting `braces_same_line` to true when creating a
new `HjsonFormatter`.
This then simply tells `HjsonFormatter` to keep the braces on the same
line when outputting which is what I expected nu's `to json` command to
do.
There are almost no changes to nushell itself, all changes are contained
within `nu-json` crate (minus any documentation updates).
Oh, almost forgot to mention, to get the tests compiling, I added
fancy_regex as a _dev_ dependency to nu-json. I could look into
eliminating that if desirable.
# User-Facing Changes
**Breaking Change**
nushell now outputs the desired result using the reproduction command
from the issue:
```
echo '{"version": "v0.4.4","notes": "blablabla","pub_date": "2024-05-04T16:05:00Z","platforms":{"windows-x86_64":{"signature": "blablabla","url": "https://blablabla"}}}' | from json | to json
```
outputs:
```
{
"version": "v0.4.4",
"notes": "blablabla",
"pub_date": "2024-05-04T16:05:00Z",
"platforms": {
"windows-x86_64": {
"signature": "blablabla",
"url": "https://blablabla"
}
}
}
```
whereas previously it would push the opening braces onto a new line:
```
{
"version": "v0.4.4",
"notes": "blablabla",
"pub_date": "2024-05-04T16:05:00Z",
"platforms":
{
"windows-x86_64":
{
"signature": "blablabla",
"url": "https://blablabla"
}
}
}
```
# Tests + Formatting
toolkit check pr mostly passes - there are regrettably some tests not
passing on my windows machine _before making any changes_ (I may look
into this as a separate issue)
I have re-enabled the [hjson
tests](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/blob/main/crates/nu-json/tests/main.rs).
This is done in the second commit 🙂
They have a crucial difference to what they were previously asserting:
* nu-json outputs in json syntax, not hjson syntax
I think this is desirable, but I'm not aware of the history of these
tests.
# After Submitting
I suspect there `to json` command examples will need updating to match,
haven't checked yet!
