[gentoo-user] Got a json file from YouTube...

[tuxic]

Hi,

via https://youtuberandomcomment.com/ ->Download all is it possible
to download all comments of a YouTube-Video....as a json file, which
contains exactly one, very long line.

This is exactly the formatting I would prefer to read
threaded comments ....;

Is there something in portage, which is recommended to 
reformat/display this json-input into something more 
readable...?

Cheers!
Meino

Hello,

I'm usually using app-misc/jq for all my json needs. It isn't exactly a json
pretty-printer but more of a swiss army knife for extracting data from json. It
does formatting, tho :)

You could also try your Web User Agent. My Firefox already does format json, so
maybe you could try open it there if you just want to read it.

json_pp from dev-lang/perl which you should already have
installed ;) Example usage:

$ json_pp < some.json | less
