Dear Emacs-dev team, I have observed the following behavior of the command json-pretty-print (http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/lisp/json.el#n740): Write {"a": 1}{"b": 2} into any Emacs buffer. Then, mark the whole section and run M-x json-pretty-print. The line is afterwards altered as { "a": 1 } This means, that any string after the first completely parsed JSON-object is being removed by this function. I would consider this unexpected, because information gets lost after calling a function that is just supposed to prettify things. My Emacs version: GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.18.9) of 2017-09-20 on lcy01-07, modified by Debian I also have an Arch-linux system at home where I could also reproduce this behavior. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you very much, Albert Heinle
