Add pretty printing as an optional paramater to the JSON Response #23

Closed lewismc closed 9 years ago

lewismc commented 9 years ago

Right now we get a JSON response object and there is no option to pretty print it so it is difficult to interpret at a glance. We should consider implementing something like https://clojuredocs.org/clojure.pprint as a mechanism for improving aesthetics and interpretation.

I took a look at this a while back and again this morning, and it seems to be difficult to do. Running the data set through pprint would actually just insert a ton of tabs and spaces which would result in horrendous output because ring interprets those as literal characters. I can't seem to find a middleware support pretty-printing at this time.

I also had a look and found it hellish to implement. This has to do with support for this kind of thing within Clojure I think. I am +1 for leaving it and closing it off.
