I am writing a JSON file which would be read by a Java program. The fragment is as follows...
{
"testCases" :
{
"case.1" :
{
"scenario" : "this the case 1.",
"result" : "this is a very long line which is not easily readble.
so i would like to write it in multiple lines.
but, i do NOT require any new lines in the output.
I need to split the string value in this input file only.
such that I don't require to slide the horizontal scroll again and again while verifying the correctness of the statements.
the prev line, I have shown, without splitting just to give a feel of my problem"
}
}
}

Per the specification, the JSON grammar's char production can take the following values:
- any-Unicode-character-except-
"-or-\-or-control-character \"\\\/\b\f\n\r\t\ufour-hex-digits
Newlines are "control characters", so no, you may not have a literal newline within your string. However, you may encode it using whatever combination of \n and \r you require.
The JSONLint tool confirms that your JSON is invalid.
And, if you want to write newlines inside your JSON syntax without actually including newlines in the data, then you're doubly out of luck. While JSON is intended to be human-friendly to a degree, it is still data and you're trying to apply arbitrary formatting to that data. That is absolutely not what JSON is about.
