I want to put a \n (Line Separator) between the variable string values. So the data shows like:

test
test1
test2
test3

How do I acplish this following JSON practices?

My example:

data: JSON.stringify({
      "sessionID":xxxxx,
      "synchronize":false,
      "sourceRequest":{
        "numberOrigin":xxxxxx,
        "type":"x",
        "description":test + "\\n" + test2 "\\n" +  test3  "\\n" + test4,
        "userID":xxxxxxxx,
        "contact":{
          "name":"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
          "phoneNumber":"xxxxxxxxxx",
          "email":xxxx,
          "department":"xxxxx"
        },

        },

• javascript
• json

• Some plus signs seem missing. Did you mean test + "\\n" + test2 + "\\n" + test3 + "\\n" + test4? – Cœur Commented Dec 15, 2016 at 18:18

The "\\n" says to put a literal \n in the string - 2 chars. You should just use "\n" to say that its a new line - 1 char.

Note if viewing in Windows Notepad, \n is not enough for a new line.

A simple ' ' (space character) is enough to do what is needed, the json key does hold a string after all, if you need something more prominent you can use '\t', refer here for more.
