This project provides a [`composer`](https://getcomposer.org) package with a JSON printer, allowing for flexible indentation.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Run

```
composer require ergebnis/json-printer
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Let's assume we have a variable `$json` which contains some JSON that is not indented:

```
{"name":"Andreas Möller","emoji":"🤓","urls":["https://localheinz.com","https://github.com/localheinz","https://twitter.com/localheinz"]}
```

or indented with 4 spaces:

```
{
    "name":"Andreas Möller",
    "emoji":"🤓",
    "urls":[
        "https://localheinz.com",
        "https://github.com/localheinz",
        "https://twitter.com/localheinz"
    ]
}
```

but we want to indent it with 2 spaces (or tabs).

This is where `Ergebnis\Json\Printer\Printer` comes in
