How do I save a JSON file with four spaces indentation using JSON.NET?

Question

I need to read a JSON configuration file, modify a value and then save the modified JSON back to the file again. The JSON is as simple as it gets:

{
    "         


        

Answer 1

Maybe try to feed a tab character to the IndentChar?

...    
jw.IndentChar = '\t';
...

Accordinging to the documentation, it should use the tab character to indent the JSON instead of the space character. http://james.newtonking.com/json/help/index.html?topic=html/T_Newtonsoft_Json_Formatting.htm
