## Text-formatter-config-to-json
Convert a typed `TextFormatterConfig` into a `Json`. This helper exports formatter toggles, separators, color settings, markup behavior, and optional style tags in a machine-readable form.
### Interface
```moonbit
pub fn text_formatter_config_to_json(config : TextFormatterConfig) -> Json {}
```
#### input
- `config : TextFormatterConfig` - Formatter configuration to export.
#### output
- `Json` - Structured JSON representation of the formatter config.
### Explanation
Detailed rules explaining key parameters and behaviors
- The output includes visibility flags, separators, template, color settings, and markup settings.
- `style_tags` is exported only when the map is not empty.
- Enum-like formatter options are serialized using their stable label strings.
- `color_mode`, `color_support`, and the markup-mode fields are emitted through their label helpers, so the exported strings stay aligned with the parser-facing formatter config vocabulary.
- Nested `style_tags` entries are exported as plain JSON objects keyed by tag name, with each `TextStyle` rendered as structured config data rather than runtime registry state.
- The JSON shape matches the formatter section accepted by config parsing.
### How to Use
Here are some specific examples provided.
#### When Need Structured Formatter Export
When formatter config should be embedded inside a larger config object:
```moonbit
let value = text_formatter_config_to_json(TextFormatterConfig::new(show_target=false))
```
In this example, callers can compose the JSON value without re-implementing serialization.
#### When Need To Persist Formatter Settings
When generated formatter policy should be stored or inspected:
```moonbit
let formatter_json = text_formatter_config_to_json(
TextFormatterConfig::new(separator=" | ", template="[{level}] {message}"),
)
```
In this example, the config becomes transport-friendly structured data.
### Error Case
e.g.:
- If `style_tags` is empty, the field is omitted instead of being emitted as an empty object.
- If callers need immediate text output rather than a JSON value, they should use `stringify_text_formatter_config(...)` instead.
### Notes
1. Use this helper when you need a reusable JSON value rather than a final JSON string.
2. `sink_config_to_json(...)` reuses this helper for the nested `text_formatter` field.
