Newlines (\n) in example filed are output verbatim

[koppor]

When a property of a data object has the field example, \n in this field are output verbatim instead of producing a newline. This makes it hard to output formatted JSON examples.

This seems to be the same as bootprint/bootprint-openapi#77. Examples are raw JSON-objects and not strings. Try including your example directly as object. It should be formatted automatically.

I'm coming from @ApiModelProperty via swagger-jersey2-jaxrs, so I cannot use JSON-objects instead of strings. At least if I understand @ApiModelProperty correctly.

I would like to know what the JaxRS-people think about it. Maybe they have another solution for specifying complex examples.
But I reckon, they depend on swagger-ui's ability to derived complex example from the json-schema and the example-values in the leafs.

You may be able to solve your problem with a preprocessor that traverses the swagger-file and calls JSON.parse on all example values.

Writing examples verbatim would require a change in bootprint-json-schema. If you have an idea that works well for JSON-examples (that are real objects), I would accept a PR. Maybe examples can be output verbatim if the type of the schema is not "string", but the example itself is a "string"
