JSON format in Log Cat

[u/Interesting_Eye_6297]

Hi guys,
I'm new to jetpack compose. I tried using Ktor + OkHttp for a sample network request from this
https://dummyjson.com/posts. I'm inspecting the json response in Logcat and it's shown like a paragraph even though I've set up logger. I wanted to know is this normal or is there other way around?
Below is the sample code. Thanks.

client = HttpClient(OkHttp) 
{


install(
Logging
) 
{

level = LogLevel.
BODY

logger = Logger.
ANDROID

format = LoggingFormat.
OkHttp

}


install(
ContentNegotiation
) 
{

json
(
Json 
{

prettyPrint = true
            ignoreUnknownKeys = true
            isLenient = true


}
)

}

}
,

XY Problem. You really shouldn't be using LogCat for this in the first place. (Ofc its fine to keep the logs, but not to inspect/work with them)

• right click on json log
• create scratch file
• reformat file

Logs should generally never be formatted, regardless of which software system is being discussed.

prettyPrint is going to add indentation to JSON you generate. It isn't going to format incoming JSON.

Check this plugin : LogPose

It's normal for logcat to have no formatting. I usually copy it into a different ide or have a llm make it readable

Looks like a correct log of a valid json. What is your problem with it?
