+## Jsonify options

+indent ("")
+: Indendation to use.
+
+prefix ("")
+: Indentation prefix.
+
+noHTMLEscape (false)
+: Disable escaping of problematic HTML characters inside JSON quoted strings. The default behavior is to escape &, <, and > to \u0026, \u003c, and \u003e to avoid certain safety problems that can arise when embedding JSON in HTML.
