Pretty JSON Middleware

Pretty JSON middleware enables "JSON pretty print" for JSON response body. Adding ?pretty to url query param, the JSON strings are prettified.

js
// GET / {"project":{"name":"Hono","repository":"https://github.com/honojs/hono"}}

will be:

js
// GET /?pretty {  "project": {  "name": "Hono",  "repository": "https://github.com/honojs/hono"  } }

Import

ts
import { Hono } from 'hono' import { prettyJSON } from 'hono/pretty-json'

Usage

ts
const app = new Hono()  app.use(prettyJSON()) // With options: prettyJSON({ space: 4 }) app.get('/', (c) => {  return c.json({ message: 'Hono!' }) })

Options

optional space: number

Number of spaces for indentation. The default is 2.

optional query: string

The name of the query string for applying. The default is pretty.
