 > Fun fact: `JSON_PRETTY_PRINT` was only introduced in PHP 5.4.

 Yep, but we have compatibility already in place for it: #30139

 > @Viper007Bond  I've had great luck with browser extensions for viewing
 JSON, such as [https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/json-
 viewer/gbmdgpbipfallnflgajpaliibnhdgobh JSON Viewer] for Chrome, which in
 addition to the pretty printing, lets you collapse/expand parts of the
 object tree.

 A similar feature is built into Firefox Developer Edition which I use but
 I also use the REST API client in my code editor (PHPStorm) which sadly
 just displays the raw response (although I can click a few times and get
 it formatted). Passing authorization headers and POST data can be a pain
 in the browser.
