Beautify JSON in Emacs
Not completely sure where I found this, but I've had this in my .emacs for a while now:
(defun beautify-json ()
(interactive)
(let ((b (if mark-active (min (point) (mark)) (point-min)))
(e (if mark-active (max (point) (mark)) (point-max))))
(shell-command-on-region b e
"python -mjson.tool" (current-buffer) t)))Just run M-x beautify-json on a buffer and it will reformat it.
