How to return pretty json from REST api

Question

How can I return pretty json from the REST API ?

When I query though curl, I receive one long string

curl http://foo.my.salesforce.com/services/data  
[{"version":"20.0","label":"Winter '11","url":"/services/data/v20.0"},{"version":"21.0","label":"Spring '11","url":"/services/data/v21.0"},{"version":"22.0","label":"Summer '11","url":"/services/data/v22.0"},{"version":"23.0","label":"Winter '12","url":"/services/data/v23.0"},{"version":"24.0","label":"Spring '12","url":"/services/data/v24.0"},{"version":"25.0","label":"Summer '12","url":"/services/data/v25.0"},{"version":"26.0","label":"Winter '13","url":"/services/data/v26.0"},{"version":"27.0","label":"Spring '13","url":"/services/data/v27.0"},{"version":"28.0","label":"Summer '13","url":"/services/data/v28.0"}]

I want the string to be more human readable.

I have tried using pretty=true because that works in other REST API's that I have used in the past.

curl http://foo.my.salesforce.com/services/data?pretty=true

Answer 1

-H "Authorization: Bearer access_token " -H "X-PrettyPrint:1"

After access token use -H "X-PrettyPrint:1" to get the result with formatted JSON

All JSON looks like this - regardless of platform... try a JSON Chrome Extension and maybe a REST Console extension
