Making Pretty-Printed JSON Readable Again in Python
A new Python module called jsonfold has been developed to improve the readability of JSON data. This module acts as a post-processing filter on top of existing JSON serializers, allowing for a balance between compact and fully expanded formats. It offers customization options for formatting, making it suitable for handling large documents efficiently.
- ▪Jsonfold provides a way to format JSON data that is more readable than traditional compact or pretty-printed outputs.
- ▪The module operates as a streaming wrapper, ensuring fixed memory usage and linear processing time for large documents.
- ▪Customization options include maximum line width, folding depth, and packing aggressiveness.
