## Description

Helper class for creating a string from a JSON object or array.

## Member Summary

Member Functions: condense, formatString, stringify

## Member Functions

### condense

static void condense(
const Dynamic::Var & any,
std::ostream & out
);

Writes a condensed string representation of the value to the output stream while preserving the insertion order.

This is just a "shortcut" to stringify(any, out) with name indicating the function effect.

### formatString

static void formatString(
const std::string & value,
std::ostream & out
);

Formats the JSON string and streams it into ostream.

### stringify

static void stringify(
const Dynamic::Var & any,
bool preserveInsertionOrder,
std::ostream & out,
unsigned int indent = 0
);

Writes a string representation of the value to the output stream while optionally preserving the insertion order.

When indent is 0, the generated string will be created as small as possible (condensed). When preserveInsertionOrder is true, the original order of object members will be preserved. This is a "shortcut" to stringify(any, out, indent, -1, preserveInsertionOrder).

### stringify

static void stringify(
const Dynamic::Var & any,
std::ostream & out,
unsigned int indent = 0,
int step = - 1,
bool preserveInsertionOrder = false
);

Writes a string representation of the value to the output stream.

When indent is 0, the string will be created as small as possible. When preserveInsertionOrder is true, the original order of object members will be preserved; otherwise, object members are sorted by their names.
