Answer 1

JSON.stringify takes an object, but you are passing it a string. To use this approach, you would need to turn your string into an object then back into a string:

var jsonStr = $("pre").text();
var jsonObj = JSON.parse(jsonStr);
var jsonPretty = JSON.stringify(jsonObj, null, '\t');

$("pre").text(jsonPretty);
