Saving an optimized JSON file

edhebert

Hi all-

I'm trying to save an optimized JSON file, and I'm using the following syntax with 'true' as the third parameter to tell it to save as optimized rather than pretty.

save(myJSON, 'my.json', true);

However, when this line runs, the file saves as my.json.true rather than my.json. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?

Thanks!

• Function save() relies on some complex parsing in order to determine which action to take!
• Just make sure variable myJSON isn't a String nor a p5.Graphics by mistake.
• And you can also use saveJSON() in place of save()! :ar!

My data is an array of frequency/amplitude pairs from an fft analysis of a sound event. The save works great without the 'true' parameter, it just saves it as a pretty format. I'll try the saveJSON() as well - thanks!

Unfortunately, saveJSON() returns the same pretty printed data. the true argument creates the .json.true extension as above.
