PDF Extract API: JSON output file no indent

[Maria Iriarte]

Please, could I ask if the Extract API JSON output file is indented?

I ran successfully the the following Python code provided in the website: "Extract Text and tables (w/ Tables and Figures Renditions)"

I got the tables, the pictures and the JSON file. However, the JSON file is not indented. I do not know if it is expected to be so I ask just in case. 

Please, find attached the pdf and the JSON file.

Thank you very much 🙂

White space and indentations do not matter in a JSON file. Are you asking if the JSON file contains _information_ about indentations in the PDF? If so, that's a different question.

Hi Raymond,

Thank you very much for your quick response 🙂

It was only that for me it is easier to check at a first view if the
information is correctly extracted when the JSON file is indented.

As I was reading some posts in the Forum with indented JSON files attached
so I thought that maybe the service was providing indented JSON files too.

Again, thank you very much.

Regards,
Maria

Check your editor, or how you view JSON files in general. I use Visual Studio Code and it can pretty up JSON nicely.

Thanks! I will do so 🙂

Please, I am going to post a new message regarding keeping the shaded rows
in tables when extracting them. I was wondering if future features in
Extract API could do it.

Cheers,
Maria
