Description
I want to add a pre-commit hook to sort Contents.json files generated for Xcode (or by xcode), and in its flavor of json there is a space before colon.
To reduce diff, I'd like to follow xcode's rules.
Let me know, if that is possible? Thank you!

Research direction
The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the JSON formatting and stringification logic, then determine how a configurable space before colons could match Xcode's Contents.json output. Done means the requested formatting is supported without increasing unrelated diffs and its behavior is covered by tests.
