Using gson library you can pretty print your json strings like below -

public static String toPrettyFormat(String jsonString) {
    JsonParser parser = new JsonParser();
    JsonObject json = parser.parse(jsonString).getAsJsonObject();

    Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().setPrettyPrinting().create();
    String prettyJson = gson.toJson(json);

    return prettyJson;
}

And call it like below -

public void testPrettyPrint() {
    String compactJson = "{\"playerID\":1234,\"name\":\"Test\",\"itemList\":[{\"itemID\":1,\"name\":\"Axe\",\"atk\":12,\"def\":0},{\"itemID\":2,\"name\":\"Sword\",\"atk\":5,\"def\":5},{\"itemID\":3,\"name\":\"Shield\",\"atk\":0,\"def\":10}]}";

    String prettyJson = toPrettyFormat(compactJson);

    System.out.println("Compact:\n" + compactJson);
    System.out.println("Pretty:\n" + prettyJson);
}

Are there any builtin ways of doing this? Adding a library just to print each entry on a new lines seems over the board.
