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

Here's a simple example of pretty printing JSON to the console in a nice way in Python, without requiring the JSON to be on your computer as a local file:

import pprint
import json 
from urllib.request import urlopen # (Only used to get this example)

# Getting a JSON example for this example 
r = urlopen("https://mdn.github.io/fetch-examples/fetch-json/products.json")
text = r.read() 

# To print it
pprint.pprint(json.loads(text))
