Can a JSON value contain a multiline string

Question

I am writing a JSON file which would be read by a Java program. The fragment is as follows...

{
  \"testCases\" :
  {
    \"case.1\" :
    {
      \"scenario         


        

Answer 1

I'm not sure of your exact requirement but one possible solution to improve 'readability' is to store it as an array.

{
  "testCases" :
  {
    "case.1" :
    {
      "scenario" : "this the case 1.",
      "result" : ["this is a very long line which is not easily readble.",
                  "so i would like to write it in multiple lines.",
                  "but, i do NOT require any new lines in the output."]
    }
  }
}

}

The join in back again whenever required with

result.join(" ")
