# Configure JSON Output

**Applies to:** Lasernet Core 11 and 10 (not Lasernet Essentials / Professional / Advanced)

The **JSON** tab of the **Sheet Options** window enables you to configure the output of a JSON sheet.

Refer to the information for the Lasernet Core version you are using.

## Lasernet Core 11

### Encoding

The output of a JSON sheet is always UTF-8 encoded. The ActiveCodePage JobInfo is set to UTF8.

If a different encoding is required, use a [Code Page Conversion](/v1/docs/code-page-conversion) modifier to convert the output of this sheet.

### Settings

| Setting | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Style | Controls the format of the output JSON. **Compact (all on one line):** The entire JSON document is written as one line. **Pretty-Print:** The JSON contains line breaks and indentation to make it more human-readable. This setting does not affect how the JSON is presented in Lasernet Form Editor. |
| Remove whitespace | Removes leading and trailing spaces from the values in the key/value pairs (in the JSON). Alternatively, use the **Trim Spaces** rearrange property to configure whitespace handling at the rearrange level. For more information, see [Edit Rearrange Properties](/v1/docs/edit-rearrange-properties). |
| Remove node if no data is provided (No effect in Design mode) | Prevents key/value pairs that have no value from being included in the output. This setting overrides the settings of individual nodes on the sheet. |

## Lasernet Core 10

XML and JSON outputs have some sheet settings in common. See section [Configure XML Data Output](/v1/docs/configure-xml-data-output) for more details.
