Python's Hidden Gem for JSON Indentation

Still pasting JSON into websites to read it? Python gives you a cleaner, offline way in one line.

📦 The Built-in Way — No Extra Installs

Python ships with a powerful toolset for handling JSON.
Here's how to pretty-print JSON instantly:

import json with open("data.json") as f: data = json.load(f) print(json.dumps(data, indent=4)) 

✅ Indented
✅ Readable
✅ Offline & fast

🔀 Bonus: From String Instead of File

json_str = '{"name":"name","skills":["skill1","skill2"]}' print(json.dumps(json.loads(json_str), indent=2)) 

🧠 Real Uses

• Debug API responses
• View config files
• Log structured data beautifully

🧼 Clean Trick: Sorting Keys Too

print(json.dumps(data, indent=4, sort_keys=True)) 

💡 Sometimes the most powerful tools are the ones built in.
