fastJSON output string is a long line

Question

See more:

I am using fastJSON to serialize a small structure.

The output string has one long line rather than the
multi-line format that I was expecting.
The format I expected essentially puts every simple
variable on its own line. "varname": varvalue

It would just make it much more human readable friendly.

Is there a switch that I'm missing?

Thanks.

Using latest version of fastJSON, as of 16 Jul 2015,
that I just rebuilt from source.
Using Visual Studio 2008 on legacy VB.net project.

fastJSON is amazing - easy to use, small, fast.

current output string:

This is minimized JSON. All the white space is removed to make it as small as possible.

So what's the problem?

I was missing a function.
There is a beautify command, which when given the
compressed form returns a string broken into short
lines with meaningful indentation.

A computer doesn't care which form it uses, but
for humans, the "beautified" form is much more pleasant.
