Indent the output of 𝐉𝐒𝐎𝐍.𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐟𝐲

While working with the Oracle Field Service plugin in Javascript, I have observed that many developers use 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐞.𝐥𝐨𝐠(𝐉𝐒𝐎𝐍.𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐟𝐲()) and struggle with the structure of objects on the console. The 𝐉𝐒𝐎𝐍.𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐟𝐲() method provides an option to properly indent the output on the console for debugging, which can be very helpful for understanding the structure of the objects.

// JSON.stringify 
const person = {firstName:"John", lastName:"Doe", age:50, eyeColor:"blue"};
console.log(JSON.stringify(person));
/*
output
  {"firstName":"John","lastName":"Doe","age":50,"eyeColor":"blue"}
*/

// Indent the output with one space
console.log(JSON.stringify(person,null,"\t"));
/*
output
  {
    "firstName": "John",
    "lastName": "Doe",
    "age": 50,
    "eyeColor": "blue"
}
*/

I will be posting tricks I have been using in my journey.
