Example

var myObject = {
    arr1: ["foo", "bar"],
    obj1: {
        subObj1: "Foo",
        subObj2: "Bar"
    }
};
var string = fluid.prettyPrintJSON(myObject);

In this example, the results string will contain

"{\n    arr1: [\"foo\", \"bar\"],\n    obj1: {\n        subObj1: \"Foo\",\n        subObj2: \"Bar\"\n    }\n}"

which, when output, would produce

{
    arr1: ["foo", "bar"],
    obj1: {
        subObj1: "Foo",
        subObj2: "Bar"
    }
}
