AngularJS format JSON string output

Question

Angular has a built-in filter for showing JSON

<pre>{{data | json}}</pre>

Note the use of the pre-tag to conserve whitespace and linebreaks

Demo:

angular.module('app', [])
  .controller('Ctrl', ['$scope',
    function($scope) {

      $scope.data = {
        a: 1,
        b: 2,
        c: {
          d: "3"
        },
      };

    }
  ]);

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html ng-app="app">

  <head>
    <script data-require="angular.js@1.2.15" data-semver="1.2.15" src="https://code.angularjs.org/1.2.15/angular.js"></script>
  </head>

  <body ng-controller="Ctrl">
    <pre>{{data | json}}</pre>
  </body>

</html>

There’s also an angular.toJson method, but I haven’t played around with that (Docs)
