JSON Pretty is a very simple library that prints a JSON array in full color with proper indentation.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require rcubitto/json-pretty
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

You can print any array, both sequencial and associate.

```
\Rcubitto\JsonPretty\JsonPretty::print([
    'store' => 'Best Buy',
    'number' => 30305,
    'products' => [
        [
            'name' => 'TV',
            'cost' => 2000.00,
            'in_stock' => true
        ],
        [
            'name' => 'Phone',
            'cost' => 350.80,
            'in_stock' => false
        ],
        [
            'name' => 'Sample',
            'cost' => 0,
            'in_stock' => null
        ]
    ]
]);
```

The previous snippet will return the following string:

[![Print output](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rcubitto/json-pretty/master/print-example-one.png?token=AARLMXW34PBRSGY4GRCWHGS6PWVZ2)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rcubitto/json-pretty/master/print-example-one.png?token=AARLMXW34PBRSGY4GRCWHGS6PWVZ2)

You can also print an object class:

```
$obj = new \Stdclass;
$obj->prop = 1;
$obj->another = 2;

\Rcubitto\JsonPretty\JsonPretty::print($obj);
```

Output:

[![Print output](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rcubitto/json-pretty/master/print-example-two.png?token=AARLMXXFQXV6NZ3DO5XC2UC6PWWOA)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rcubitto/json-pretty/master/print-example-two.png?token=AARLMXXFQXV6NZ3DO5XC2UC6PWWOA)

**NOTE**: the string is not echoed out, just returned. So if you want to actually echo it out, don't forget to do so.

Config
------

[](#config)

You can also configure different colors for different types.

```
$options = [
    'colors' => [
        'bracket' => 'blue',    // {}[] and object keys
        'number' => 'green',    // any is_numeric (except strings like "1")
        'string' => 'purple',
        'boolean' => 'pink',
        'null' => 'black'
    ]
];

\Rcubitto\JsonPretty\JsonPretty::print($sample, $options);
```
