I don't even have to think hard. If you want your JSON to be
human-readable, it's entirely possible that you want it stored using
the same whitespace that was present on input. There is a valid use

Everyone on this thread who thinks that there is Only One Right Way To
Do It should take a chill pill. There is, in fact, more than one
right way to do it.
