FracturedJson is utility that formats JSON data producing user-readable but fairly compact output. Arrays and objects are written on single lines if they're short enough and not too complex; otherwise their contents are presented indented, beginning on lines of their own. If a collection of inline arrays or objects are sufficiently similar and there's enough room, they will be aligned in a tabular arrangement.
It is available as a browser form, a .NET Core 3.1 library, a Javascript package, and a Visual Studio Code extension.
Here's a sample of output using default settings:
{
"SimpleArray": [
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53,
59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97, 101, 103, 107, 109, 113
],
"ObjectColumnsArrayRows": {
"Katherine": [ "blue" , "lightblue", "black" ],
"Logan" : [ "yellow" , "blue" , "black", "red" ],
"Erik" : [ "red" , "purple" ],
"Jean" : [ "lightgreen", "yellow" , "black" ]
},
"ArrayColumnsObjectRows": [
{ "type": "turret" , "hp": 400, "loc": {"x": 47, "y": -4} , "flags": "S" },
{ "type": "assassin" , "hp": 80, "loc": {"x": 12, "y": 6} , "flags": "Q" },
{ "type": "berserker", "hp": 150, "loc": {"x": 0, "y": 0} },
{ "type": "pittrap" , "loc": {"x": 10, "y": -14}, "flags": "S,I" }
],
"ComplexArray": [
[ 19, 2 ],
[ 3, 8 ],
[ 14, 0 ],
[ 9, 9 ],
[ 9, 9 ],
[ 0, 3 ],
[ 10, 1 ],
[ 9, 1 ],
[ 9, 2 ],
[ 6, 13 ],
[ 18, 5 ],
[ 4, 11 ],
