Pretty Print Json

JsonExtensions.py

"""
Added by tayfunsen to pretty print json strings.

Put this in dist-packages (ex.
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/JsonExtensions.py ) and use prettys to
pretty print json strings.

Ex.

>>> resp.content
'{"comments": {"list_endpoint": "/api/v1/comments/", "schema": "/api/v1/comments/schema/"}, "groups": {"list_endpoint": "/api/v1/groups/", "schema": "/api/v1/groups/schema/"}, "posts": {"list_endpoint": "/api/v1/posts/", "schema": "/api/v1/posts/schema/"}, "profiles": {"list_endpoint": "/api/v1/profiles/", "schema": "/api/v1/profiles/schema/"}, "users": {"list_endpoint": "/api/v1/users/", "schema": "/api/v1/users/schema/"}}'
>>> json.prettys(resp.content)
{
    "comments": {
        "list_endpoint": "/api/v1/comments/",
        "schema": "/api/v1/comments/schema/"
    },
    "groups": {
        "list_endpoint": "/api/v1/groups/",
        "schema": "/api/v1/groups/schema/"
    },
    "posts": {
        "list_endpoint": "/api/v1/posts/",
        "schema": "/api/v1/posts/schema/"
    },
    "profiles": {
        "list_endpoint": "/api/v1/profiles/",
        "schema": "/api/v1/profiles/schema/"
    },
    "users": {
        "list_endpoint": "/api/v1/users/",
        "schema": "/api/v1/users/schema/"
    }
