JSON list are unordered

[Cédric Jeanneret deactivated]

Dear Stackers,

While checking the JSONFormatter in oslo_log, I see it outputs multiple lines as a simple JSON list (for example, stacktraces).

This might lead to some issues, as JSON objects (lists, for example) aren't ordered. We might come to a situation where, if we treat the JSON output, the lines will not be in the same order. This can lead to serious issues if we need to track a bug.

A good solution would be to output multi-line content as a single line, using the helpful "\n".join(lines) or something like that.

It can either be an option, or hard-coded - anyway, a "stringified" multi-line output will more than probably save time.

Thank you!

Cheers,

C.

What JSON parser treats lists as unordered?
