How to render JSON results nicely into asp.net mvc view

Question

I have the following code which prints out json to my page

the code is as follows

public async Task<ActionResult> TestRestCall() { Uri serviceRoot = new Uri(azureAdGraphApiEndPoint); var token = await GetAppTokenAsync(); string requestUrl = "https://graph.windows.net/mysaasapp.onmicrosoft.com/users?api-version=2013-04-05"; HttpClient hc = new HttpClient(); hc.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new System.Net.Http.Headers.AuthenticationHeaderValue( "Bearer", token); HttpResponseMessage hrm = await hc.GetAsync(new Uri(requestUrl)); if (hrm.IsSuccessStatusCode) { ViewBag.Message = JObject.Parse(await hrm.Content.ReadAsStringAsync()).ToString(Formatting.Indented) ; return View(); } else { return View(); } }

However for debugging purposes, I would like to show the JSON nicely to read it better, but code is not working as I found in another SO answer

Are you using SyntaxHighliter script? stackoverflow.com/questions/4810841/… — Aram

You can use https://github.com/umbrae/jsonlintdotcom/blob/master/c/js/jsl.format.js to render json nicely. As it says:

jsl.format - Provide json reformatting in a character-by-character approach, so that even invalid JSON may be reformatted (to the best of its ability).
