Thanks for the feature request! 👋

This appears to be a duplicate of issue #2252, which already tracks a broader set of improvements around displaying preformatted/monospace text (like JSON) and tabular JSON visualization.

📋 What's tracked in #2252

Issue #2252 covers:

• Screens: A new widget for displaying preformatted/monospace text (e.g., JSON) that preserves newlines and leading whitespace — likely a hybrid of TEXTBOX and TEXTFIELD widgets.
• ScriptRunner: An additional argument to prompt() for the same purpose.
• JSON Grid: Adding a visualization (tool/widget) that auto-creates a table/tabular display of JSON elements — exactly what you're describing (similar to https://jsongrid.com/json-grid).
• Consideration for pretty printing as well.

I'd recommend 👍-ing and following #2252 to track progress on this. If your use case has specific nuances not covered there, feel free to add a comment on that issue with more details!

no, #2252 is just displaying text without stripping leading whitespace and/or using a monospace font
