JSON output nested in array

[mccoleman]

Good evening,

I have an array of elements that I'd like to output as JSON: 

[{...},{...},{...}]

In order to nest this array under a JSON property, I utilize the "Group by N" snap, which results in my data looking like this: 

{

   "randomKey": [{...},{...},{...}]
}

This is passed into a JSON formatter. Upon looking at the output JSON however, it appears that what I'm actually getting is this: 

[{

   "randomKey": [{...},{...},{...}]
}]

How can I configure the JSON formatter to not nest my response in an array? Why is it happening?

Also, another way of nesting the array under a JSON property is by using a Mapper Snap. 

About the formatting of the JSON, check the "Format each document" checkbox.

@mccoleman - or you leave your JSON documents at the root level and use the JSON Formatter with default configuration (I use Pretty-print just to make it easier to read).

Hope this helps!
