I have a compact JSON string, and I want to format it nicely in Java without having to deserialize it first — e.g. just like jsonlint.org does it. Are there any libraries out there that provides this?
A similar solution for XML would also be nice.
I think for pretty-printing something, it’s very helpful to know its structure.
To get the structure you have to parse it. Because of this, I don’t think it gets much easier than first parsing the JSON string you have and then using the pretty-printing method toString mentioned in the comments above.
Of course you can do similar with any JSON library you like.
