Inconsistent PrettyPrinting

scala> val rawJson = """{"hello": "world", "age": 42, "nested": { "deeper": { "treasure": true }}}"""
rawJson: String = {"hello": "world", "age": 42, "nested": { "deeper": { "treasure": true }}}

scala> rawJson.asJson.noSpaces
res24: String = "{\"hello\": \"world\", \"age\": 42, \"nested\": { \"deeper\": { \"treasure\": true }}}"

scala> decode[HelloWorld](rawJson).map(_.asJson.noSpaces).getOrElse("")
res25: String = {"hello":"world","age":42,"nested":{"deeper":{"treasure":true}}}

res24 is not parsable because of ""

To be more precise. I can “parse” res24, but I still can’t decode it to a case class. And I actually can’t work with it:

scala> parse(res24).getOrElse(Null).hcursor.downField("hello").withFocus(_.mapString(_.reverse)).top
res61: Option[io.circe.Json] = None

Compare to res25:

scala> parse(res25).getOrElse(Null).hcursor.downField("hello").withFocus(_.mapString(_.reverse)).top
res62: Option[io.circe.Json] =
Some({
  "hello" : "dlrow",
  "age" : 42,
  "nested" : {
    "deeper" : {
      "treasure" : true
    }
  }
})

I’m pretty sure it’s a bug!

Ok, now I understand, sorry for trying to force it as a bug 😃.

As I understand, you’ve meant not getting a Json String back - you mean I’ll get a io.circe.Json.JString back. I just didn’t read it careful enough.

Thanks, and sorry again 😃
