[OpenLayers-Dev] native JSON

[Slawomir Messner]

Hi,
thanks to the quick answer and testing. We don't use the GeoJSON format 
directly, only a derived class. The write method looks quite same:
     write: function (obj, pretty, layerStyle) {
         var geojson = {
             "type": null,
             "properties": new Object()
         };
         if (obj instanceof Array) {
             geojson.type = "FeatureCollection";
                                     geojson.defaultStyle = layerStyle;
             var numFeatures = obj.length;
             geojson.features = new Array(numFeatures);
             for (var i = 0; i < numFeatures; ++i) {
                 var element = obj[i];
                 if (!element instanceof OpenLayers.Feature.Vector) {
                     var msg = "FeatureCollection only supports 
collections " +
                               "of features: " + element;
                     throw msg;
                 }

                             for (var a in element.attributes.style) {
                                if (element.attributes.style[a] == 
geojson.defaultStyle[a]) {
                                     delete (element.attributes.style[a]);
                                 }
                             }
                 geojson.features[i] = this.extract.feature.apply(
                     this, [element]
                 );
             }
         } else if (obj.CLASS_NAME.indexOf("OpenLayers.Geometry") == 0) {
             geojson = this.extract.geometry.apply(this, [obj]);
         } else if (obj instanceof OpenLayers.Feature.Vector) {
             geojson = this.extract.feature.apply(this, [obj]);
             if (obj.layer && obj.layer.projection) {
                 geojson.crs = this.createCRSObject(obj);
             }
         }
         var jsonFormatter =new OpenLayers.Format.JSON();
         return jsonFormatter.write(geojson, pretty);
     },
We pass an array of features, false and the default style of the layer. ...
Now I tested a little and when I pass true not false for pretty all is fine.
Thanks
Slawomir

As I know it is that the JSON format has no double quotes around arrays. So where is the error, is the native serializer(Firefox and Chrome) not producing a standard format? With the old code (before native browser function is used) all was fine.
