Pretty print your JSON on the command-line the easy way.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'ppjson'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install ppjson
Pretty printing your JSON on the command line has never been easier:
ppjson '{"a":"b"}'
If another command returns some JSON for you:
curl http://mydomain.com/blah.json | ppjson
Do you have some JSON in a file? See a pretty printed version of it:
ppjson -f my_file.json
Or maybe you want to pretty print the contents of the file and then update the file with the pretty printed version:
ppjson -f -i my_file.json
Perhaps you already have some pretty printed JSON in a file, but you want to pass it as an argument to some other command, so you need to un-pretty print it:
ppjson -f -u my_file.json
You can even store your un-pretty printed version back into the file for later:
ppjson -f -u -i my_file.json
Get some help with:
ppjson -h
It's easier to remember than python -mjson.tool
and it won't annoyingly reorder your keys for you.
If you're using RVM just dump it into your global gemset to have it available everywhere.
