Do indentation of JSON with xml-to-json($json-xml, map { 'indent' : true() })
0%
Description
The function xml-to-json takes an optional second argument with a map for options, the one being defined is a boolean value for the key indent.
While the Java and .NET product honour that option and do indent any produced JSON, Saxon-JS 2 doesn't do any indentation, see also https://saxonica.plan.io/boards/5/topics/8052?r=8053#message-8053.
It would be nice if the implementation could be enhanced to support indentation as otherwise reading the result of xml-to-json that Saxon-JS 2 produces is very hard as you are faced with one long line of JSON data.

Indeed, the implementation of xml-to-json diligently checks that the indent option is a boolean then...never mentions it again. :-(

I've added support for the indent option. It's not exactly what JavaScript does when asked to produce indented JSON, but it certainly introduces sufficient line breaks and indentation to be readable.
