Moved to PUP project.

I'm thinking this is handled better on the CLI for example using jq or python -m json.tool:

# cat /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/client_data/catalog/localhost.json | jq .

  "tags": [

    "settings"

],

  "name": "localhost",

  "version": 1596643882,

  "code_id": null,

  "catalog_uuid": "deaa2a21-2cf6-43a4-9785-a84333353941",

  "catalog_format": 1,

  "environment": "production",

..

For example, you're probably interested in specific resources, and jq is good for filtering/selecting:

# cat /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/client_data/catalog/localhost.json | jq '.resources[] | select(.type | contains("Notify"))'

  "type": "Notify",

  "title": "hello",

  "tags": [

    "notify",

    "hello",

    "class"

],

  "file": "/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/manifests/site.pp",

  "line": 1,

  "exported": false

That makes sense to me, I'd say this can be canceled.
