kras - Detect, highlight and pretty print structured data

This tool can find structured data of any kind inside of plain string, parse it and pretty-print it:

It can detect and parse almost any kind of data:
json
python
rust

and probably many more. Don't hesitate to open an issue if your data wasn't processed correctly

USAGE:

``` kras [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] [input]...

FLAGS: --debug debug mode -C, --force-color alias for --color yes -h, --help Prints help information -m, --multiline look for data spanning several lines. This will read whole input to memory -r, --recursive try to parse nested strings --robust use more robust, but slower method to detect structured data -s, --sort sort keys -V, --version Prints version information

OPTIONS: -c, --color colorize output [default: auto] [possible values: yes, no, auto] -i, --indent indentation. 0 to disable (colorization is stil performed) [default: 2] -j number of parallel jobs. Default is num_cpus -w, --width maximum width of output [default: 80]

ARGS: ... Input files or stdin ```

Using with pgcli

kras really shines when used for reading jsons stored in database. For pgcli add to your .config/pgcli/config
pager = kras -Csw120 | less -iRXF Now your jsons will be pretty-printed! Hint: use \x

Acknowledgement

This tool is powered by these amazing libs: pom for parsing and pretty for pretty-printing

Trivia

The name kras comes from russian root крас- - a beginning of words such as красивый (pretty), красный (red) and красить (to paint). That's what this app does: makes data pretty and paints it red (but not only red)
