How to display JSON data in HTML

JSON.stringify(res, null, 2); //res is the object to be JSONified, 2 is spacing

function syntaxHighlight(json) {
    if (typeof json != 'string') {
        json = JSON.stringify(json, undefined, 2);
    }
    json = json.replace(/&/g, '&').replace(/</g, '<').replace(/>/g, '>');
    return json.replace(/("(\\u[a-zA-Z0-9]{4}|\\[^u]|[^\\"])*"(\s*:)?|\b(true|false|null)\b|-?\d+(?:\.\d*)?(?:[eE][+\-]?\d+)?)/g, function(match) {
        var cls = 'number';
        if (/^"/.test(match)) {
            if (/:$/.test(match)) {
                cls = 'key';
            } else {
                cls = 'string';
            }
        } else if (/true|false/.test(match)) {
            cls = 'boolean';
        } else if (/null/.test(match)) {
            cls = 'null';
        }
        return '<span class="' + cls + '">' + match + '</span>';
    });
}

<style>
    pre {outline: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 5px; margin: 5px; }
    .string { color: green; }
    .number { color: darkorange; }
    .boolean { color: blue; }
    .null { color: magenta; }
    .key { color: red; }
