devtools/util/pretty_json library

Functions

prettyFormatBody(Object? data) → String

Pretty-prints data as indented JSON for display in the DevTools panel — the common case for an API request/response body. Falls back to a short, readable summary for the two shapes JSON can't represent meaningfully: raw bytes (Uint8List, e.g. a ResponseType.bytes download) and Dio's multipart FormData request bodies. Anything else that isn't valid JSON (plain text, HTML, XML, ...) is shown as-is via Object.toString.

truncateBody(Object? data, int maxLength) → Object?

Truncates data's string form to maxLength characters, appending a marker with the original length, so a single large body can't dominate the in-memory capture buffers.
