Basically yes, though `{` and `}` also start and end expression blocks in JavaScript. So the JS formatter needs to be aware that it is working with a JSON object and not a complete expression. Valid JSON: { "key1": "hello", "key2": "world" } You could "trick" a JS formatter to format it by wrapping with a fake function, etc. Some minimum valid JS: json({ key1: "hello", key2: "world", }); MongoDB has some JS libraries that use similar tricks to use JS parsers for their shell query format (which is similar to JSON).
