    Could you show us an example file? Does this need to be automatic? If not, just load it in a decent text editor and do it manually (in emacs, select everything and M-X indent-selection).

  • Have a look at jq. Also very handy if you want to process JSON.

Use the package yajl, Yet Another JSON Library. On CentOS 7 it is located in the base repo, and is most probably already installed on the machine.



To pretty-print a JSON file:



cat myfile.json | json_reformat


or simply 



json_reformat < myfile.json


To verify that a file is in correct JSON syntax:



json_verify < myfile.json

    If you don't want to install an additional package and have python available you can do:



    python -m json.tool myfile.json


    It also supports reading from STDIN

      for just pretty print, use



      jq . file_name
