@Stefan: Thanks for the hint, couchdb-compile looks nice! @Eric If i search for that, i saw jq as json tool.
jq formats the key/value pairs of the json well, but i doesn’t see a possibility to format the line breaks in the functions (e.g. map) itself? So after download \n has to be converted to a real linebreak. couchdb-compile will escape to linebreak to \n… Regards, Ronny > Am 14.08.2017 um 17:24 schrieb Eiri <e...@eiri.ca>: > > To the first one any pretty printing command line utility will work, I really > like jq (https://stedolan.github.io/jq/) > > So with my example just piping to jq with no arguments gives formatted json > which then could be sent to file: > > $ curl http://localhost:5984/koi/_design/ddoc -s | jq . > { > "_id": "_design/ddoc", > "_rev": "2-969b8f6ac9911b15c7884d9d5d527093", > "views": { > "name": { > "map": "function(doc) { emit(doc.name, doc.age); }" > } > } > } > $ curl http://localhost:5984/koi/_design/ddoc -s | jq . > ddoc2.json > > In reality jq is much more powerful tool, so check it out if you haven’t seen > it before. > > > For the second one, if I understand the question correctly, no, a design > document doesn’t need to be no-linebreaks json.
