prettyprint

The prettyprint query parameter causes the XML or JSON returned in response to a GET request to be formatted for readability. For example, with the prettyprint parameter, the returned XML for a list of tenants looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<tenants>
    <name>Default</name>
    <name>Finance</name>
    <name>HR</name>
    <name>Sales</name>
    <name>Marketing</name>
</tenants>

Without the prettyprint parameter, the returned XML looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><tenants><name>Default
</name><name>Finance</name><name>HR</name><name>Sales
</name><name>Marketing</name></tenants>

The prettyprint parameter increases the time it takes to process a request. Therefore, you should use it only for testing purposes and not in production applications.
