When my batch file downloads this json file it is not "pretty".
@ECHO OFF
ECHO. %~n0: Getting JSON files from Web page.
SETLOCAL EnableDelayedExpansion
curl -o Ports.json http://storage.googleapis.com/nacleanop ... odeu1.json
However when I view it using a web based viewer (below), it looks great in the web viewer.

What can I use after my curl command to make the downloaded file look like it does in the web viewer?

Re: JSON file in wrong format.
The web viewer is manipulating the data to make the JSON more readable. Curl just grabs the data as it is currently stored. If you want to prettify it, you'll have to do that yourself.

Re: JSON file in wrong format.
The outdated version of cURL that ships with Win 10 doesn't support JSON formatting. However the Google API doesn't even return valid JSON. It's rather a JavaScript assignment statement which begins whith var Ports = and ends with a semicolon. You would have to remove that anyway before you can pretty print it. (Also the online viewer is confused and concatenates the first two words to varPorts.)
Besides of that, the oportunities that penpen linked should work.

str = str.replace('var Ports = ', '').slice(0, -1); // remove the assignment and the trailing semicolon
WScript.Echo(objHtml.parentWindow.JSON.stringify(objHtml.parentWindow.JSON.parse(str), null, 2));
