I´m making a project where my script tests our JSON API. I have one functional version:
use strict; use warnings; use JSON; use JSON::Parse 'parse_json'; use Data::Dumper qw(Dumper); my $content = `curl --silent -k -u admin:pass https://url/api/v2/GetDe +viceInfo?$ARGV[0]`; my $decoded_json = decode_json($content); my $data = Dumper $decoded_json; foreach my $line($data) { print "$line\n"; }
The second part is to get the same output with all the Objects and Arrays highlighted but without any modules. I´ve got this so far:
my $content = `curl --silent -k -u admin:pass https://url/api/v2/GetDe +viceInfo?$ARGV[0]`; $content =~ tr/"/ /; $content =~ tr/,/\n/; print "$content\n";
The $content variable is an JSON API. The whole JSON is an Array, with objects in it, and other Arrays in those objects. The [] are for the Arrays and {} for Objects. Current Output of my script is:
"device":[{ host_info: { engine_id: null name: null host_group_info: { name: null remarks: null id: 0} ...
The objective is to make it look like below:
"device": [{ "host_info": { "engine_id": null, "name": null, "host_group_info": { "name": null, "remarks": null, "id": 0 } } ...
I strugle to implement a tab after each opening bracket and reverse the tab after each closing bracket. Maybe someone has got even a simpler solution than that?
