我使用了宝石CodeRay，它工作得很好。格式包括颜色，它可以识别很多不同的格式。

我已经在一个可以用来调试rails api的gem上使用了它，它工作得非常好。

顺便说一下，这个gem被命名为'api_explorer' (http://www.github.com/toptierlabs/api_explorer)

# example of use:
a_hash = {user_info: {type: "query_service", e_mail: "my@email.com", phone: "+79876543322"}, cars_makers: ["bmw", "mitsubishi"], car_models: [bmw: {model: "1er", year_mfc: 2006}, mitsubishi: {model: "pajero", year_mfc: 1997}]}
pretty_html = a_hash.pretty_html

# include this module to your libs:
module MyPrettyPrint
    def pretty_html indent = 0
        result = ""
        if self.class == Hash
            self.each do |key, value|
                result += "#{key}: #{[Array, Hash].include?(value.class) ? value.pretty_html(indent+1) : value}"
            end
        elsif self.class == Array
            result = "[#{self.join(', ')}]"
        end
        "#{result}"
    end

end

class Hash
    include MyPrettyPrint
end

class Array
    include MyPrettyPrint
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

我能想到的最简单的例子:

my_json = '{ "name":"John", "age":30, "car":null }'
puts JSON.pretty_generate(JSON.parse(my_json))

Rails控制台示例:

core dev 1555:0> my_json = '{ "name":"John", "age":30, "car":null }'
=> "{ \"name\":\"John\", \"age\":30, \"car\":null }"
core dev 1556:0> puts JSON.pretty_generate(JSON.parse(my_json))
{
  "name": "John",
  "age": 30,
  "car": null
}
=> nil

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

我使用以下，因为我发现标题，状态和JSON输出有用 一组。调用例程是根据railscasts在http://railscasts.com/episodes/151-rack-middleware?autoplay=true上的推荐进行的

  class LogJson

  def initialize(app)
    @app = app
  end

  def call(env)
    dup._call(env)
  end

  def _call(env)
    @status, @headers, @response = @app.call(env)
    [@status, @headers, self]
  end

  def each(&block)
    if @headers["Content-Type"] =~ /^application\/json/
      obj = JSON.parse(@response.body)
      pretty_str = JSON.pretty_unparse(obj)
      @headers["Content-Length"] = Rack::Utils.bytesize(pretty_str).to_s
      Rails.logger.info ("HTTP Headers:  #{ @headers } ")
      Rails.logger.info ("HTTP Status:  #{ @status } ")
      Rails.logger.info ("JSON Response:  #{ pretty_str} ")
    end

    @response.each(&block)
  end
  end
