How can I beautify JSON for display in a TextBox?

Question

How can I beautify JSON with C#? I want to print the result in a TextBox control.

Is it possible to use JavaScriptSerializer for this, or should I use JSON.net? Un

Bit late to this party, but you can beautify (or minify) Json without deserialization using json.NET:

JToken parsedJson = JToken.Parse(jsonString);
var beautified = parsedJson.ToString(Formatting.Indented);
var minified = parsedJson.ToString(Formatting.None);
