richardlog: Pretty-printing JSON and XML on Mac OSX

I’d also use this in conjunction with pbcopy. pbpaste | python -m json.tool | pbcopy. Formatting this:

{"this": {"is": "a", "nested": "json"}, "object": [true]}

As this:

{
    "object": [
        true
    ], 
    "this": {
        "is": "a", 
        "nested": "json"
    }
}

Nice!

Like my colleagues at Avisi I’m an avid OSX user. One of the reasons I like OSX is it gives you have the power of Unix right under your fingertips while still providing a nice user interface.

Now suppose you’re working on RESTful services and you need to verify or debug some JSON output….
