<p style="color: grey"> JavaScript recipe 577549 by <a href="/recipes/users/4173505/">Trent Mick</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/curl/">curl</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/json/">json</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/node/">node</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/nodejs/">nodejs</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/rest/">rest</a>). Revision 3. </p> <p>Save this to "nicerest", <code>chmod +x</code>-it, and pipe your REST API <code>curl</code> calls through this for nicer output. It will notice HTTP headers (curl's <code>-i</code> option) and skips those before attempting to pretty-print the following JSON.</p> <p>Note: This is currently using node 0.2. I should update for 0.3 changes (I think <code>process.openStdin</code> changed).</p>
