Let’s have a look at one small problem which occurs quite often: curl "https://www.openthesaurus.de/synonyme/search?q=test&format=application/json" {"metaData":{"apiVersion":"0.2","warning":"ACHTUNG: Bitte vor ernsthafter Nutzung feedback@openthesaurus.de kontaktieren, um bei API-Änderungen informiert zu werden","copyright":"Copyright (C) 2014 Daniel Naber (www.danielnaber.de)","license":"GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2.1","source":"http://www.openthesaurus.de","date":"Sun Oct 18 09:20:29 CEST 2015"},"synsets":[{"id":292,"categories":[],"terms":[{"term":"Erprobung"},{"term":"Probe"},{"term":"Prüfung"},{"term":"Test"},{"term":"Versuch"}]},{"id":4398,"categories":[],"terms":[{"term":"Kontrolle"},{"term":"Leistungsnachweis"},{"term":"Prüfung"},{"term":"Test"}]},{"id":5752,"categories":[],"terms":[{"term":"Klassenarbeit"},{"term":"Klausur"},{"term":"Lernerfolgskontrolle"},{"term":"Prüfung"},{"term":"Schularbeit"},{"term":"Schulaufgabe"},{"term":"Test"},{"term":"Arbeit","level":"umgangssprachlich"}]},{"id":9138,"categories":[],"terms":[{"term":"Experiment"},{"term":"Probelauf"},{"term":"Studie"},{"term":"Test"},{"term":"Testballon"},{"term":"Testlauf"},{"term":"Trockenlauf"},{"term":"Trockentest"},{"term":"Versuch"}]}]}⏎ Pretty print So you are either a guru or extremly motivated to remember the open braces for your own, otherwise you need help to read the JSON properly.
