Ppjson

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.
