Or you could just use JSON_PRETTY_PRINT:
$a = array(
'foo' => 'bar',
'boo' => 'far'
);
echo json_encode($a, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);Which will produce the following output:
{
"foo": "bar",
"boo": "far"
}

Hi, Thanks!
However this is php specific. I used php just as an example.
For example in javascript:
ghislain@debian: /tmp
> cat test.js
console.log(JSON.stringify([{"name": "John"},{"name":"Peter"},{"name":"Dave"}]));
ghislain@debian: /tmp
> node test.js
[{"name":"John"},{"name":"Peter"},{"name":"Dave"}]
ghislain@debian: /tmp
> node /tmp/test.js | python -mjson.tool
[
{
"name": "John"
},
{
"name": "Peter"
},
{
"name": "Dave"
}
]or to use to parse an API response for example.
