Pretty Print

Definitions

1. To format data — typically JSON, XML, code, or data structures — with consistent indentation, line breaks, and syntax highlighting so that it is human-readable, as opposed to a compact, minified representation.

   In plain English: Displaying data in a neatly formatted, indented way so humans can actually read it.

   Example: "Pipe the API response through jq to pretty print it — that wall of JSON is unreadable."
