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 had a similar requirement to dump the contents of json file for logging, something quick and easy:

print(json.dumps(json.load(open(os.path.join('', ''), "r")), indent = 4 ))

if you use it often then put it in a function:

def pp_json_file(path, file):
    print(json.dumps(json.load(open(os.path.join(path, file), "r")), indent = 4))
