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?

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

看看Awesome Print吧。将JSON字符串解析为Ruby Hash，然后用ap显示它，如下所示:

require "awesome_print"
require "json"

json = '{"holy": ["nested", "json"], "batman!": {"a": 1, "b": 2}}'

ap(JSON.parse(json))

通过以上，你会看到:

{
  "holy" => [
    [0] "nested",
    [1] "json"
  ],
  "batman!" => {
    "a" => 1,
    "b" => 2
  }
}

Awesome Print还会添加一些Stack Overflow无法显示的颜色。

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 %>

如果你正在使用RABL，你可以使用JSON.pretty_generate来配置它:

class PrettyJson
  def self.dump(object)
    JSON.pretty_generate(object, {:indent => "  "})
  end
end

Rabl.configure do |config|
  ...
  config.json_engine = PrettyJson if Rails.env.development?
  ...
end

使用JSON的一个问题。pretty_generate是JSON模式验证器将不再满意您的datetime字符串。你可以在config/initializers/rabl_config中修正这些问题。rb:

ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone.class_eval do
  alias_method :orig_to_s, :to_s
  def to_s(format = :default)
    format == :default ? iso8601 : orig_to_s(format)
  end
end

如果你想:

自动美化应用程序中所有传出的JSON响应。 避免污染Object#to_json/#as_json 避免使用中间件解析/重新呈现JSON(讨厌!) 用铁路的方式去做!

然后……为JSON替换ActionController::Renderer !只需将以下代码添加到您的ApplicationController:

ActionController::Renderers.add :json do |json, options|
  unless json.kind_of?(String)
    json = json.as_json(options) if json.respond_to?(:as_json)
    json = JSON.pretty_generate(json, options)
  end

  if options[:callback].present?
    self.content_type ||= Mime::JS
    "#{options[:callback]}(#{json})"
  else
    self.content_type ||= Mime::JSON
    json
  end
end
