Tales from support: Spaces for indentation

During the development of JSONBuddy 4.5, we got a customer inquiry about using spaces instead of tabs for indentation levels in the JSON editor. So we added this setting to the Editor page of the Options dialog:

Option to use tab or space for indentation

Option to use tab or space for indentation.

If you remove the check from Use tabs for indentation, the editor inserts spaces to set the indentation level for every new line. This setting is also used for JSON pretty-print and the various conversion operations of JSONBuddy.

Please keep in mind that this does not replace tabs that are already inserted. Existing JSON data with either spaces or tabs as indentation keeps the characters currently used. In addition, the indentation function copies the whitespace characters from the previous line. Any new document in the JSON editor uses the setting from above right from the start.
