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

I think that's better to parse the json before, to avoid errors:

def format_response(response):
    try:
        parsed = json.loads(response.text)
    except JSONDecodeError:
        return response.text
    return json.dumps(parsed, ensure_ascii=True, indent=4)
