Could probably do the same with :! jq . It's a bit shorter.

[–] namingthingsiseasy 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I knew someone was going to say that. Usually it's more likely that Python is installed than jq - especially on servers. But yes, that would definitely work too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Sure, I'm just not sure when I'd ever run into that. Either I'm doing it a lot and installing jq is reasonable, or I'm not allowed on the server anyway and need to copy/paste from logs.

I used to use python -m json.tool a lot, but I haven't needed to in many years.
