Title Body

Currently I'm using the Jackson JSON Processor to write preference data and whatnot to files mainly because I want advanced users to be able to modify/backup this data. Jackson is awesome for this because its incredibly easy to use and, apparently performs decently (see here ), however the only problem I seem to be having with it is when I run myObjectMapper.writeValue(myFile, myJsonObjectNode) it writes all of the data in the ObjectNode to one line. What I would like to do is to format the JSON into a more user friendly format. For example, if I pass a simple json tree to it, it will write the following: {"testArray":[1,2,3,{"testObject":true}], "anotherObject":{"A":"b","C":"d"}, "string1":"i'm a string", "int1": 5092348315} I would want it to show up in the file as: { "testArray": [ 1, 2, 3, { "testObject": true } ], "anotherObject": { "A": "b", "C": "d" }, "string1": "i'm a string", "int1": 5092348315 } Is anyone aware of a way I could do this with Jackson, or do I have to get the String of JSON from Jackson and use another third party lib to format it? Thanks in advance!
