JSON pretty printer in one line.
Raw
pretty_print_json.sh
# Method 1
# Pros: really short
# Cons: unicode will be escaped
echo '{"hello":"你好"}' | python -mjson.tool
# Method 2
# Pros: avoid unicode escapes, output string is always UTF-8 encoded
# Cons: a little long
echo '{"hello":"你好"}' | python -c 'import json, sys; print(json.dumps(json.load(sys.stdin), ensure_ascii=False, indent=2).encode("utf-8"))'
