$jsonPretty

$jsonPretty converts the current JSON object into a formatted, indented string. Useful for displaying JSON in a readable way inside a Discord message.

Syntax

$jsonPretty[Indent length]

• Indent length: the number of spaces per indentation level. Usually 2 or 4.

Returns empty if no $jsonParse or $jsonSet was called, or $jsonClear was called.

Use $disableInnerSpaceRemoval at the top of your command to preserve the indentation in Discord messages.

What happens

1. $jsonParse loads the JSON object into memory.
2. $jsonPretty converts it into a multi-line string with each level indented by the specified number of spaces.

Example 1: Pretty print with 2-space indent

$nomention
$disableInnerSpaceRemoval
$jsonParse[{"username":"Zubariel","level":10}]
$jsonPretty[2]

What happens:

1. $jsonParse loads the object.
2. $jsonPretty[2] formats it with 2-space indentation.

Output:

{
  "level": 10,
  "username": "Zubariel"
}

Example 2: Pretty print a nested object

$nomention
$disableInnerSpaceRemoval
$jsonParse[{"user":{"name":"Zubariel","score":150}}]
$jsonPretty[4]

What happens:

1. $jsonParse loads the nested object.
2. $jsonPretty[4] formats it with 4-space indentation.

Output:

{
    "user": {
        "name": "Zubariel",
        "score": 150
    }
}

Common uses

• Debugging: inspect the full structure of a JSON object visually
• Displaying data: show formatted JSON in a bot response for readability
• Confirming edits: check the object after a series of $jsonSet calls

• $jsonStringify: for a compact single-line string instead
• $jsonParse: must be called first to load the JSON object
