I'm working on some Python code for my local billiard hall and I'm running into problems with JSON encoding. When I dump my data into a file I obviously get all the data in a single line. However, I want my data to be dumped into the file following the format that I want. For example (Had to do picture to get point across), My custom JSON format . I've looked up questions on custom JSONEncoders but it seems they all have to do with datatypes that aren't JSON serializable. I never found a solution for my specific need which is having everything laid out in the manner that I want. Basically, I want all of the list elements to on a separate row but all of the dict items to be in the same row. Do I need to write my own custom encoder or is there some other approach I need to take? Thanks!

  • 1. Why exactly is it a problem that it is all in one line? 2. Isn't this just a case of providing the `indent` parameter to [`json.dump`](https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/json.html#json.dump)? – UnholySheep Jun 30 '17 at 07:04

  • Here is a similar question. Look at the accepted answer how to write encoder: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16264515/json-dumps-custom-formatting – guma44 Jun 30 '17 at 07:05
  • have tried using the `indent=2` parameter? Try `json.dumps(, indent = 2)` – Aman Singh Dec 24 '17 at 18:59
