How to prettyprint a JSON file?

Question

I have a JSON file that is a mess that I want to prettyprint. What\'s the easiest way to do this in Python?

I know PrettyPrint takes an \"object\", which I think can

Use pprint: https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/pprint.html

import pprint
pprint.pprint(json)

print() compared to pprint.pprint()

print(json)
{'feed': {'title': 'W3Schools Home Page', 'title_detail': {'type': 'text/plain', 'language': None, 'base': '', 'value': 'W3Schools Home Page'}, 'links': [{'rel': 'alternate', 'type': 'text/html', 'href': 'https://www.w3schools.com'}], 'link': 'https://www.w3schools.com', 'subtitle': 'Free web building tutorials', 'subtitle_detail': {'type': 'text/html', 'language': None, 'base': '', 'value': 'Free web building tutorials'}}, 'entries': [], 'bozo': 0, 'encoding': 'utf-8', 'version': 'rss20', 'namespaces': {}}

pprint.pprint(json)
{'bozo': 0,
 'encoding': 'utf-8',
 'entries': [],
 'feed': {'link': 'https://www.w3schools.com',
          'links': [{'href': 'https://www.w3schools.com',
                     'rel': 'alternate',
                     'type': 'text/html'}],
          'subtitle': 'Free web building tutorials',
          'subtitle_detail': {'base': '',
                              'language': None,
                              'type': 'text/html',
                              'value': 'Free web building tutorials'},
          'title': 'W3Schools Home Page',
          'title_detail': {'base': '',
                           'language': None,
                           'type': 'text/plain',
                           'value': 'W3Schools Home Page'}},
 'namespaces': {},
 'version': 'rss20'}
