漂亮的打印变体(Rails):

my_obj = {
  'array' => [1, 2, 3, { "sample" => "hash"}, 44455, 677778, nil ],
  foo: "bar", rrr: {"pid": 63, "state with nil and \"nil\"": false},
  wwww: 'w' * 74
}

require 'pp'
puts my_obj.as_json.pretty_inspect.
            gsub('=>', ': ').
            gsub(/"(?:[^"\\]|\\.)*"|\bnil\b/) {|m| m == 'nil' ? 'null' : m }.
            gsub(/\s+$/, "")

结果:

{"array": [1, 2, 3, {"sample": "hash"}, 44455, 677778, null],
 "foo": "bar",
 "rrr": {"pid": 63, "state with nil and \"nil\"": false},
 "wwww":
  "wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww"}

如果您发现Ruby JSON库中内置的pretty_generate选项不够“漂亮”，我推荐您使用自己的NeatJSON gem进行格式化。

使用它:

gem install neatjson

然后使用

JSON.neat_generate

而不是

JSON.pretty_generate

像Ruby的pp一样，当对象和数组合适时，它会将它们放在一行上，但根据需要将它们包装成多行。例如:

{
  "navigation.createroute.poi":[
    {"text":"Lay in a course to the Hilton","params":{"poi":"Hilton"}},
    {"text":"Take me to the airport","params":{"poi":"airport"}},
    {"text":"Let's go to IHOP","params":{"poi":"IHOP"}},
    {"text":"Show me how to get to The Med","params":{"poi":"The Med"}},
    {"text":"Create a route to Arby's","params":{"poi":"Arby's"}},
    {
      "text":"Go to the Hilton by the Airport",
      "params":{"poi":"Hilton","location":"Airport"}
    },
    {
      "text":"Take me to the Fry's in Fresno",
      "params":{"poi":"Fry's","location":"Fresno"}
    }
  ],
  "navigation.eta":[
    {"text":"When will we get there?"},
    {"text":"When will I arrive?"},
    {"text":"What time will I get to the destination?"},
    {"text":"What time will I reach the destination?"},
    {"text":"What time will it be when I arrive?"}
  ]
}

它还支持各种格式选项，以进一步自定义输出。例如，冒号前后有多少个空格?之前/之后逗号?在数组和对象的括号内?要对对象的键进行排序吗?你想让冒号都对齐吗?

将ActiveRecord对象转储为JSON(在Rails控制台中):

pp User.first.as_json

# => {
 "id" => 1,
 "first_name" => "Polar",
 "last_name" => "Bear"
}

使用pretty_generate()函数，该函数内置于JSON的后期版本中。例如:

require 'json'
my_object = { :array => [1, 2, 3, { :sample => "hash"} ], :foo => "bar" }
puts JSON.pretty_generate(my_object)

这就得到了:

{
  "array": [
    1,
    2,
    3,
    {
      "sample": "hash"
    }
  ],
  "foo": "bar"
}

使用<pre> HTML代码和pretty_generate是一个好技巧:

<%
  require 'json'

  hash = JSON[{hey: "test", num: [{one: 1, two: 2, threes: [{three: 3, tthree: 33}]}]}.to_json] 
%>

<pre>
  <%=  JSON.pretty_generate(hash) %>
</pre>

HTML中的<pre>标记，与JSON一起使用。pretty_generate，将在视图中漂亮地呈现JSON。当我杰出的老板给我看这个时，我非常高兴:

<% if @data.present? %>
   <pre><%= JSON.pretty_generate(@data) %></pre>
<% end %>
