DNS over HTTPS
For my link archive:
- DNS over HTTPS – Wikipedia / Public recursive name server – Wikipedia
- [WayBack] RFC 8484 – DNS Queries over HTTPS (DoH)
- [WayBack] DNS over HTTPS · curl/curl Wiki · GitHub (which has a list of publicly available servers)

JSON DNS output
Some DNS over HTTSP providers support dns-json, which Cloudflare delivers non-pretty printed.
To pretty print in the same order as the input, pipe through json_pp or python -m json.tool which however will sort (either alphabetically or by dictionary hash) the output.
If you like jq and colourised output, then you can pipe through jq . as well (which does not sort the nodes).
Piping curl output requires the curl --silent parameter to suppress progress reporting.
