This item was deprecated in version 2025r1. Please use `JSONItem.ToString` with the `options` parameter as a replacement.
## Description
> When getting the `String` representation of a JSONItem using the `ToString` method, setting this property to `True` (the default) will remove unnecessary whitespace from the resulting string. A value of `False` will result in a string with SPACEs and EndOfLines embedded to make the string more readable.
## Sample code
This example sets Compact to `True` before calling `ToString`.
> ``` xojo
> Var person As New JSONItem
> ' This object is manipulated like a dictionary
> person.Value("Name") = "John Doe"
> person.Value("Age") = 32
> person.Value("Married") = True
> person.Value("Spouse") = "Jane Doe"
>
> Var kids As New JSONItem
> ' This object is manipulated like an array
> kids.Add("John Jr")
> kids.Add("Jamie")
> kids.Add("Jack")
> kids.Add("Josie")
> kids.AddAt(0,"Jonah")
> kids.RemoveAt(2)
> person.Value("Kids") = kids
>
> Person.Compact = True
> Var s As String = person.ToString
> ```
## Compatibility
All project types on all supported operating systems.
