## [2.6.8](https://github.com/cucumber/gherkin/compare/v2.6.7...v2.6.8)

### Changed Features

## [2.5.0](https://github.com/cucumber/gherkin/compare/v2.4.21...v2.5.0)

### Changed Features

The JSON representation of features has changed. The difference lies in how Doc Strings and Data Tables are represented. Consider the following steps:

    Given a Data Table:
      | Hipster | Ipsum |
      | Freegan | Vinyl |
    Given a Doc String:
      """
      Hipster
      Ipsum
      """

This is now represented in JSON as:

    "steps": [
      {
        "keyword": "Given ",
        "name": "a Data Table"
        "line": 5,
        "rows": [
          { "cells": ["Hipster", "Ipsum"], "line": 6 },
          { "cells": ["Freegan", "Vinyl"], "line": 7 }
        ]
      },
      {
        "keyword": "Given ",
        "name": "a Doc String"
        "line": 8,
        "doc_string": {
          "value": "Hipster\nIpsum"
          "line": 9,
          "content_type": "plaintext",
        }
      }
    ]

Previously it would be represented in JSON as:

    "steps": [
      {
        "keyword": "Given ",
        "name": "a Data Table"
        "line": 5,
        "multiline_arg": {
          "type": "table"
          "value": [
            { "cells": ["Hipster", "Ipsum"], "line": 6 },
            { "cells": ["Freegan", "Vinyl"], "line": 7 }
          ]
        }
      },
      {
        "keyword": "Given ",
        "name": "a Doc String"
        "line": 8,
        "multiline_arg": {
          "type": "doc_string"
          "value": "Hipster\nIpsum"
          "line": 9,
          "content_type": "plaintext",
        }
      }
    ]

### Bugfixes
* Java JSONFormatter produces invalid JSON ([#128](https://github.com/cucumber/gherkin/issues/128) Aslak Hellesøy)
