This will introduce an extra level of nesting for no good reason.

But this would work:

-           ExplainBeginOutput(&es);
+           if (auto_explain_log_format != EXPLAIN_FORMAT_JSON)
+               ExplainBeginOutput(&es);
+           else
+               ExplainOpenGroup(NULL, NULL, true,& es);            ExplainQueryText(&es, queryDesc);
ExplainPrintPlan(&es,queryDesc);
 
-           ExplainEndOutput(&es);
+           if (auto_explain_log_format != EXPLAIN_FORMAT_JSON)
+               ExplainEndOutput(&es);
+           else
+               ExplainCloseGroup(NULL, NULL, true, &es);
