Prettify json in powershell 3

Question

Given a standard json string value:

$jsonString = \'{ \"baz\": \"quuz\", \"cow\": [ \"moo\", \"cud\" ], \"foo\": \"bar\" }\'

How can I get

Answer 1

Works for me. Parentheses make sure get-content is done before piping. Default depth of convertto-json is 2, which is often too low.

function pjson ($jsonfile) {
  (get-content $jsonfile) | convertfrom-json | convertto-json -depth 100 | 
    set-content $jsonfile
}
