I have the following code that extracts some values from a JSON string, but I want to also apply the prettyPrint() method so that it is more readable. I applied it right in the end, but it obviously does not work. Is there any way to print my extracted response with the prettyPrint method?

Response response = basicAuth.accept(ContentType.JSON).get(uri);
ResponseBody body = response.getBody();
JsonPath json= new JsonPath(body.asString());
String projects = json.getString("projects[1]");

System.out.println("I extracted this project "+projects.prettyPrint());

I also tried this according to the first comment but it's still no good

Response response = basicAuth.accept(ContentType.JSON).get(uri);
ResponseBody body = response.getBody();
JsonPath json= new JsonPath(body.asString());
String projects = json.getString("projects[1]");
Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().setPrettyPrinting().create();
String jsonOutput = gson.toJson(projects);

System.out.println("I extracted this project "+jsonOutput);

after you use "setPrettyPrinting" what is the output ? – ozkanpakdil Apr 13 '23 at 13:17
I still get the whole json response in a single line. – GetTok Apr 13 '23 at 13:22
Could you add more detail, like response json and screenshot of request, response log. – lucas-nguyen-17 Apr 14 '23 at 05:45
Given `java.lang.String` has no `prettyPrint()` method, how do you expect your first code sample to even compile? Similarly in your second example, what do you expect `gson.toJson` to do when it is offered a String? – Mark Rotteveel Apr 14 '23 at 12:11
