python - How to save a tabbed json file

Question

I have a function:

def save(path,data):
    file = open(path,'w',encoding='utf-8')
    file.write(json.dumps(data))
    file.close()

It saves the file, but without tabbing. Everything goes in one line.

save('1.json',{"1":"222"})

How do I make it save in tab format?

{
  "1":"222"
}

Use indent argument with json.dumps as below:

import json

def save(path, data):    
    file = open(path,'w',encoding='utf-8')
    file.write(json.dumps(data, indent=4))
    file.close()
    
save('1.json',{"1":"222"})
