Solution 1:

Summary

• Answer: <br>
• Alternative: JSONView Chrome Extension

The only one that give me good results was <br>:

Example

from flask import Flask, jsonify

app = Flask(__name__)

tasks = [
    {
        '<br>id': 1,
        'title': u'Buy groceries',
        'description': u'Milk, Cheese, Pizza, Fruit, Tylenol', 
        'done': False
    },
    {
        '<br>id': 2,
        'title': u'Learn Python',
        'description': u'Need to find a good Python tutorial on the web', 
        'done': False
    }
]

@app.route('/todo/api/v1.0/tasks', methods=['GET'])defget_tasks():
    return jsonify({'tasks': tasks})

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(debug=True)

In your browser the <br> character will be rendered as html and reproduce a new line.

Result: "creates" new lines in json

Jsonify can't help you because it takes the values (integer,boolean,float, etc) as a string and avoid special characters like \n, \t, etc

Finally, if you just want a fancy way to visualize json files in your browser, you could use JSONView, is a Chrome extension that render Json files in a more understandable way, like this.
