List to JSON Array FAQ

No. The tool uses JSON serialization, so quotes, backslashes, and other required characters are escaped correctly.

Every non-empty line is encoded as a JSON string so identifiers with leading zeros are preserved.

Yes. Turn off pretty formatting to produce a single-line JSON array.
