I know this has been discussed in the following issues:
As a simple matter of principle, JSON conversion should be converting, not changing the original string. A proper conversion should support a round-trip conversion back to the original value. This can be demonstrated with the following code snippet:
Replacing a line feed (
vbLf
) single character, with two characters (vbCrLf
) may be necessary in some applications, but this should be performed in the calling code, not embedded within the JSON conversion. In my opinion, the JSON conversion should only be performing the conversion. What goes in is what should come out. 😄On the VBA side,
vbCrLf = (vbCr & vbLf)
so I don't know that we need to do anything more complicated than simply converting\n
tovbLf
.
