+ <longdescription>
+ A JSON pretty-printing library compatible with aeson as well as
+ a command-line tool to improve readabilty of streams of JSON data.
+
+ The /library/ provides the function "encodePretty". It is a drop-in
+ replacement for aeson's "encode" function, producing JSON-ByteStrings for
+ human readers.
+
+ The /command-line tool/ reads JSON from stdin and writes prettified JSON
+ to stdout. It also offers a complementary "compact"-mode, essentially the
+ opposite of pretty-printing. If you specify @-flib-only@ like this
+
+ &gt; cabal install -flib-only aeson-pretty
+
+ the command-line tool will NOT be installed.
