We have situation of more blank lines in the JSON output while generating a JSON out of multiple Lucene query content pulls via a dot file. Is there any solution available for this ?

Two things -
First, I would strongly suggest that you try the Scripting API - it uses Velocity/VTLs and gives you the ability to script and just add things to the $dotJSON map and have it returned as "properly" formatted json, no matter what your velocity looks like. All you need to do is upload a get.vtl file under /application/apivtl/yourapi/get.vtl and then hit
You can learn more about it here:
Second, if you end your line of Velocity with ## it should escape it and avoid adding new lines, e.g.
#set($content = $dotcontent.find("id")##
#set($test = "testing")##

Quick note on velocity comments.
1. They rock and I use them all the time!
2. You can't add the end comment "##" to macro calls or it will break things. #dotParse() etc.
3. You can't have your VTL file end with a comment "##" or it will break things. I.e. last line of vtl file is "#end##"
Also I agree with Will, when building a REST API it's best to do it either via an OSGI plugin or the new Velocity REST API feature. As a plugin builder I prefer the OSGI option, but if you aren't comfortable with that the new feature works as well.

Thanks @nathan. The good news is that #dotParse is no longer a macro - you could give it a shot again a see if it works.

Thanks @nathan. The good news is that #dotParse is no longer a macro - you could give it a shot again a see if it works.

Quick note on velocity comments.
1. They rock and I use them all the time!
2. You can't add the end comment "##" to macro calls or it will break things. #dotParse() etc.
3. You can't have your VTL file end with a comment "##" or it will break things. I.e. last line of vtl file is "#end##"
Also I agree with Will, when building a REST API it's best to do it either via an OSGI plugin or the new Velocity REST API feature. As a plugin builder I prefer the OSGI option, but if you aren't comfortable with that the new feature works as well.

Two things -
First, I would strongly suggest that you try the Scripting API - it uses Velocity/VTLs and gives you the ability to script and just add things to the $dotJSON map and have it returned as "properly" formatted json, no matter what your velocity looks like. All you need to do is upload a get.vtl file under /application/apivtl/yourapi/get.vtl and then hit
https://yoursite.com/api/vtl/yourapi<https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fyoursite.com%2fapi%2fvtl%2fyourapi&c=E,1,yb2dqfN93CPITdIHOaLxF2ABBb9cj7aP4qjdfD0HEIMFM8k04nxu7OO0EcQcpmpFW_Aa8jGRRdegeuboNNbQOK2VL6yX4DY39STFxn1GkfvFTg,,&typo=1><https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fyoursite.com%2fapi%2fvtl%2fyourapi&c=E,1,0a4C5TDl8kzRYTSOsPF3lJMfvLcgYKX2q1bB9vae3aFWYJAydiHV9qach-kPlyASy31liQXawBk6cCzSypKPxJM3AE2auY07n4khD6Uu8DNQb_ybqpYRk6R0hw,,&typo=1>

You can learn more about it here:
Second, if you end your line of Velocity with ## it should escape it and avoid adding new lines, e.g.
#set($content = $dotcontent.find("id")##
#set($test = "testing")##

I believe dotParse was changed from a macro to a directive in 5.0. Important to note - we did not change the lesser used #dotImport - that is still a macro.
