How to pretty print JSON using .Display()

[NikiforovAll]

The JSON is highlighted by not indented, I would like to be able to configure JsonSerilizer.

Are you looking for JsonSerializerOptions.WriteIndented?

[NikiforovAll]

Yes, but it is read-only

Can you explain more about what you're trying to do?

I'm trying to print out the JSON in a formatted/highlighted manner for visualization purposes. I get the color highlighting, but the JSON is not written with indentation.

Which JSON?

Code highlighting is a feature of VS Code and it will show up as long as the MIME type has a corresponding notebook renderer.

Indentation is a feature of various JSON serializers. Here's a simple method to indent some JSON using System.Text.Json:

    private static string Indent(string json)
    {
        json = JsonNode.Parse(json).ToJsonString(new JsonSerializerOptions
        {
            WriteIndented = true,
            Encoder = JavaScriptEncoder.UnsafeRelaxedJsonEscaping
        });
        return json;
    }

Thank you, it works, my mistake is that I was passing the object instead of formated string
