pretty-print JSON using JavaScript

Question

How can I display JSON in an easy-to-read (for human readers) format? I\'m looking primarily for indentation and whitespace, with perhaps even colors / font-styles / etc.

Answer 1

Couldn't find any solution that had good syntax highlighting for the console, so here's my 2p

Install & Add cli-highlight dependency

npm install cli-highlight --save

Define logjson globally

const highlight = require('cli-highlight').highlight
console.logjson = (obj) => console.log(
                               highlight( JSON.stringify(obj, null, 4), 
                                          { language: 'json', ignoreIllegals: true } ));

Use

console.logjson({foo: "bar", someArray: ["string1", "string2"]});
