The core usage is pretty formatting large json. I tested Chrome extension JSON View with 25MB json file. It crashes on loading this as a local file or from network. By crash, I mean JSON will not get formatted and on looking into JSON view options, you will get a crash message. I also tried similar addons for firefox. I tried online json formatters as well.
Found this library - jsonpps. Works pretty well to pretty format large json from command line, taking input and saving the formatted json as separate file. It can also save in the same file (need optional parameter)
One drawback, To install and run, one should be familier with Java and Maven.
To install & run:
git clone https://github.com/bazaarvoice/jsonpps.git
mvn clean package
cd target
java -jar jsonpps-1.2-SNAPSHOT.jar -o /path/to/output.json /path/to/largeInput.json
This solution is not restricted to Ubuntu. It should work on any operating system.
