以下是我在搜索过程中从其他帖子中得到的解决方案。

这允许您根据需要将pp和jj输出发送到文件中。

require "pp"
require "json"

class File
  def pp(*objs)
    objs.each {|obj|
      PP.pp(obj, self)
    }
    objs.size <= 1 ? objs.first : objs
  end
  def jj(*objs)
    objs.each {|obj|
      obj = JSON.parse(obj.to_json)
      self.puts JSON.pretty_generate(obj)
    }
    objs.size <= 1 ? objs.first : objs
  end
end

test_object = { :name => { first: "Christopher", last: "Mullins" }, :grades => [ "English" => "B+", "Algebra" => "A+" ] }

test_json_object = JSON.parse(test_object.to_json)

File.open("log/object_dump.txt", "w") do |file|
  file.pp(test_object)
end

File.open("log/json_dump.txt", "w") do |file|
  file.jj(test_json_object)
end

HTML中的<pre>标记，与JSON一起使用。pretty_generate，将在视图中漂亮地呈现JSON。当我杰出的老板给我看这个时，我非常高兴:

<% if @data.present? %>
   <pre><%= JSON.pretty_generate(@data) %></pre>
<% end %>

如果您发现Ruby JSON库中内置的pretty_generate选项不够“漂亮”，我推荐您使用自己的NeatJSON gem进行格式化。

使用它:

gem install neatjson

然后使用

JSON.neat_generate

而不是

JSON.pretty_generate

像Ruby的pp一样，当对象和数组合适时，它会将它们放在一行上，但根据需要将它们包装成多行。例如:

{
  "navigation.createroute.poi":[
    {"text":"Lay in a course to the Hilton","params":{"poi":"Hilton"}},
    {"text":"Take me to the airport","params":{"poi":"airport"}},
    {"text":"Let's go to IHOP","params":{"poi":"IHOP"}},
    {"text":"Show me how to get to The Med","params":{"poi":"The Med"}},
    {"text":"Create a route to Arby's","params":{"poi":"Arby's"}},
    {
      "text":"Go to the Hilton by the Airport",
      "params":{"poi":"Hilton","location":"Airport"}
    },
    {
      "text":"Take me to the Fry's in Fresno",
      "params":{"poi":"Fry's","location":"Fresno"}
    }
  ],
  "navigation.eta":[
    {"text":"When will we get there?"},
    {"text":"When will I arrive?"},
    {"text":"What time will I get to the destination?"},
    {"text":"What time will I reach the destination?"},
    {"text":"What time will it be when I arrive?"}
  ]
}

它还支持各种格式选项，以进一步自定义输出。例如，冒号前后有多少个空格?之前/之后逗号?在数组和对象的括号内?要对对象的键进行排序吗?你想让冒号都对齐吗?

我在rails控制台中有一个JSON对象，并希望在控制台中很好地显示它(而不是像大量连接的字符串那样显示)，它简单如:

data.as_json

我使用了宝石CodeRay，它工作得很好。格式包括颜色，它可以识别很多不同的格式。

我已经在一个可以用来调试rails api的gem上使用了它，它工作得非常好。

顺便说一下，这个gem被命名为'api_explorer' (http://www.github.com/toptierlabs/api_explorer)

# example of use:
a_hash = {user_info: {type: "query_service", e_mail: "my@email.com", phone: "+79876543322"}, cars_makers: ["bmw", "mitsubishi"], car_models: [bmw: {model: "1er", year_mfc: 2006}, mitsubishi: {model: "pajero", year_mfc: 1997}]}
pretty_html = a_hash.pretty_html

# include this module to your libs:
module MyPrettyPrint
    def pretty_html indent = 0
        result = ""
        if self.class == Hash
            self.each do |key, value|
                result += "#{key}: #{[Array, Hash].include?(value.class) ? value.pretty_html(indent+1) : value}"
            end
        elsif self.class == Array
            result = "[#{self.join(', ')}]"
        end
        "#{result}"
    end

end

class Hash
    include MyPrettyPrint
end

class Array
    include MyPrettyPrint
end
