以下是我在搜索过程中从其他帖子中得到的解决方案。

这允许您根据需要将pp和jj输出发送到文件中。

require "pp"
require "json"

class File
  def pp(*objs)
    objs.each {|obj|
      PP.pp(obj, self)
    }
    objs.size <= 1 ? objs.first : objs
  end
  def jj(*objs)
    objs.each {|obj|
      obj = JSON.parse(obj.to_json)
      self.puts JSON.pretty_generate(obj)
    }
    objs.size <= 1 ? objs.first : objs
  end
end

test_object = { :name => { first: "Christopher", last: "Mullins" }, :grades => [ "English" => "B+", "Algebra" => "A+" ] }

test_json_object = JSON.parse(test_object.to_json)

File.open("log/object_dump.txt", "w") do |file|
  file.pp(test_object)
end

File.open("log/json_dump.txt", "w") do |file|
  file.jj(test_json_object)
end

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?

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"
}

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"
}

我在rails控制台中有一个JSON对象，并希望在控制台中很好地显示它(而不是像大量连接的字符串那样显示)，它简单如:

data.as_json

如果您希望在Rails控制器动作中快速实现此功能以发送JSON响应:

def index
  my_json = '{ "key": "value" }'
  render json: JSON.pretty_generate( JSON.parse my_json )
end
