# Pretty
[![GoDoc](https://img.shields.io/badge/api-reference-blue.svg?style=flat-square)](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/tidwall/pretty)
Pretty is a Go package that provides [fast](#performance) methods for formatting JSON for human readability, or to compact JSON for smaller payloads.
Getting Started
===============
## Installing
To start using Pretty, install Go and run `go get`:
```sh
$ go get -u github.com/tidwall/pretty
```
This will retrieve the library.
## Pretty
Using this example:
```json
{"name": {"first":"Tom","last":"Anderson"}, "age":37,
"children": ["Sara","Alex","Jack"],
"fav.movie": "Deer Hunter", "friends": [
{"first": "Janet", "last": "Murphy", "age": 44}
]}
```
The following code:
```go
result = pretty.Pretty(example)
```
Will format the json to:
```json
{
"name": {
"first": "Tom",
"last": "Anderson"
},
"age": 37,
"children": ["Sara", "Alex", "Jack"],
"fav.movie": "Deer Hunter",
"friends": [
{
"first": "Janet",
"last": "Murphy",
"age": 44
}
]
}
```
## Color
Color will colorize the json for outputing to the screen.
```json
result = pretty.Color(json, nil)
```
Will add color to the result for printing to the terminal.
The second param is used for a customizing the style, and passing nil will use the default `pretty.TerminalStyle`.
## Ugly
The following code:
```go
result = pretty.Ugly(example)
```
Will format the json to:
```json
{"name":{"first":"Tom","last":"Anderson"},"age":37,"children":["Sara","Alex","Jack"],"fav.movie":"Deer Hunter","friends":[{"first":"Janet","last":"Murphy","age":44}]}```
```
## Customized output
There's a `PrettyOptions(json, opts)` function which allows for customizing the output with the following options:
```go
type Options struct {
// Width is an max column width for single line arrays
// Default is 80
Width int
// Prefix is a prefix for all lines
// Default is an empty string
Prefix string
// Indent is the nested indentation
// Default is two spaces
Indent string
// SortKeys will sort the keys alphabetically
// Default is false
SortKeys bool
}
```
## Performance
