You could use the built-in module pprint (https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/pprint.html).

How you can read the file with json data and print it out.

import pprint

json_data = None
with open('file_name.txt', 'r') as f:
    data = f.read()
    json_data = json.loads(data)

pprint.pprint(json_data)
