Pretty printing is currently hard-coded. Custom generators let you
customize the content of the JSON strings, pretty printing runs after the
fact just adding line breaks and (currently hard-coded) indenting.
It would be feasible to enhance by perhaps having an additional variant of
prettyPrint with a map of options. For now you could cheat with regex:
import groovy.json.JsonOutput
def ref = [name: 'Jason', properties: ['foo': 'bar']]
def json = JsonOutput.toJson(ref)
def shrinkSpaces = { _, leading, __ -> "${leading.replaceAll(' ',' ')}" }
def findLeading = /(?m)^((\s{4})+)/
println JsonOutput.prettyPrint(json).replaceAll(findLeading, shrinkSpaces)
Cheers, Paul.
