Mass prettification of JSON files.

pretty.sh

for f in `find . -path "*.json"`; do python -mjson.tool $f $f.output && mv $f.output $f; done

Sadly, python -mjson.tool seems to leave trailing whitespace on each reformatted line. Had to go in and clean that up with find . -path "*.json" -print0 | xargs -0 sed -i '' -E "s/[[:space:]]*$//".

Additionally, I had originally created find . -path "*.json" -print0 | xargs -0 -I FILENAME python -mjson.tool FILENAME FILENAME, which would have worked fine. However, json.tool really doesn't like writing to the same file handle that it has opened for reading, and I didn't feel like rewriting it to be a bit smarter.

If anyone can see a way to do it with find and xargs (like I had originally intended) instead of going the bash script route, let me know!
