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

I put this in my profile

function PrettyPrintJson {
    param(
        [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, ValueFromPipeline = $true)]
        $json
    )
    $json | ConvertFrom-Json | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 100
}

Which works with pipes, and can be auto-completed, so it's at least somewhat less typing:

cat .\file.json | PrettyPrintJson
curl https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json | PrettyPrintJson
