Question

I am using Json.Net to serialize XML into JSON. When I write the serialized string to a file it all comes in a single line. How do I get it to actually look like Json with the usual tabs and indentation?

Answer 1

Set the JSON writer Formatting property to Formatting.Indented:

jsonWriter.Formatting = Formatting.Indented;

The JsonConvert.Serialize* methods also have overloads that take a Formatting enum (thanks John Flatness).
