Pretty Print a JSON file with bash and python

json-pretty-print.sh

#source: https://stackoverflow.com/a/1920585/5405197

# With Python 2.6+ you can just do:
echo '{"foo": "lorem", "bar": "ipsum"}' | python -m json.tool

#or, if the JSON is in a file, you can do:
python -m json.tool my_json.json


#if the JSON is from an internet source such as an API, you can use
curl http://my_url/ | python -m json.tool

#For convenience in all of these cases you can make an alias:
alias prettyjson='python -m json.tool'

#For even more convenience with a bit more typing to get it ready:
prettyjson_s() {
    echo "$1" | python -m json.tool
}

prettyjson_f() {
    python -m json.tool "$1"
}

prettyjson_w() {
    curl "$1" | python -m json.tool
}
