Pretty print JSON dumps

Question

I use this code to pretty print a dict into JSON:

import json d = {'a': 'blah', 'b': 'foo', 'c': [1,2,3]} print json.dumps(d, indent = 2, separators=(',', ': ')) 

Output:

{   "a": "blah",   "c": [     1,     2,     3   ],   "b": "foo" } 

This is a little bit too much (newline for each list element!).

Which syntax should I use to have this:

{   "a": "blah",   "c": [1, 2, 3],   "b": "foo" } 

instead?

I ended up using jsbeautifier:

import jsbeautifier opts = jsbeautifier.default_options() opts.indent_size = 2 jsbeautifier.beautify(json.dumps(d), opts) 

Output:

{   "a": "blah",   "c": [1, 2, 3],   "b": "foo" }
