JSON Prettifier: Format Minified JSON for Readability

Working with minified JSON from APIs? Here's how to quickly format it for readability. Why Prettify JSON? API responses and config files are often minified to save bandwidth: {"name":"John","age":30,"address":{"city":"NYC","zip":"10001"},"tags":["dev","js"]} Prettified JSON is much easier to read and debug: { "name" : "John" , "age" : 30 , "address" : { "city" : "NYC" , "zip" : "10001" }, "tags" : [ "dev" , "js" ] } Quick Methods Command Line echo '{"a":1}' | python -m json.tool echo '{"a":1}' | jq .
