Pretty Print Json

How to Pretty Print JSON#

Update: This might be bad advice, when you json.dump() you print actually json (ie. with the javascript true, false and null values)

Say you have:

MY_JSON = {'Hello': [{'World': 'Coruscant'}, {'World': 'Tatooine', 'People': 'Humans'}]}

and you want to print it nicely:

>>> import json
>>> print(json.dumps(MY_JSON, indent = 4))
{
    "Hello": [
        {
            "World": "Coruscant"
        },
        {
            "World": "Tatooine",
            "People": "Humans"
        }
    ]
}
