Prettify Objects: pretty

Prettifies data documents to make it human readable

Description

Takes JSON or XML from the stdin and reformats it to make it human readable, then outputs that to stdout.

Usage

<stdin> -> [ --strict | --type (XML|JSON) ] -> <stdout>

Examples

» %{Array:[1,2,3],Map:{String:Foobar,Number:123.456}} -> pretty 
{
    "Array": [
        1,
        2,
        3
    ],
    "Map": {
        "Number": 123.456,
        "String": "Foobar"
    }
}

Flags

• --strict If data type doesn’t have a pretty parser, then just output stdin (default behaviour is to try every parser until one works)
• --type Specify a pretty parser (supported values: “json”, “xml”)

Synonyms

• pretty
