Tidy JSON is a console-based syntax highlighter and pretty printer for JSON text (RFC 4627). Below is a screenshot of Tidy JSON in action:
Tidy JSON can format JSON
text stored in a file or supplied over
standard input. To format JSON text in a file, simply specify
the path to the file as the program argument. If no file path
is specified then Tidy JSON expects JSON text to arrive over
standard input. Use the --help
argument for full
usage and help.
Tip:
To format JSON text downloaded as part of an HTTP transaction,
use wget
and pipe the output to tidyjson
. To format JSON text
from any application or in web pages, copy the selection to the
clipboard, paste it to the standard output using
Clipboard Tool and
then pipe to tidyjson
.
Hilite requires Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 to run and supports the same set of operating systems as the runtime.
