Feature Request: Support Multiline / Pretty-Formatted Expressions

Author: hungtcsCreated Dec 5, 2025Updated Dec 5, 2025

Hi, thank you for the excellent work on gjson!

I'd like to request support for formatted (multiline) expressions. Currently, expressions must be written on a single line, for example:

{name:name.last,age}

However, when an expression contains dozens or even hundreds of fields, placing everything on a single line becomes extremely difficult to read and maintain.

It would be extremely helpful if gjson could support expressions formatted like:

{
  name:name.last,
  age,
}

This would greatly improve readability for complex queries and enable developers to structure large expressions in a cleaner, more maintainable way.

Thanks for considering this enhancement!
