Pretty print JSON output

[mchambaud]

Is it possible to output pretty JSON? I found this but I think it's not valid with Swashbuckle

swagger-api/swagger-core#810

Hi,

Swashbuckle doesn't useswagger-core to generate the JSON documentation (correct me if I'm wrong?).
So yes, swagger.pretty.print has no effect.

However, as I see from the source code - it is possible to prettify Swashbuckle JSON output simply configuring JsonMediaTypeFormatter to use Formatting.Indented here https://github.com/domaindrivendev/Swashbuckle/blob/master/Swashbuckle.Core/Application/SwaggerDocsHandler.cs#L54-L58

SerializerSettings = new JsonSerializerSettings
{
    NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling.Ignore,
    Formatting = Formatting.Indented,
    Converters = new[] { new VendorExtensionsConverter() }
}

But since this prettifying should be configurable (turn off/on), one should extend SwaggerDocsConfig with some kind of a flag bool _prettifyJsonOutput or smth like this.

Why I know the answer to your question?
Because I would to have pretty output too and also made some investigation :)

Les't wait for the answer from @domaindrivendev and maybe he, you or me will add this feature if approved.
