code block inside table row in Markdown

Question

I am putting together some documentation in Github flavoured Markdown and I want to put together a table that has two rows. One with simply text and one with a json code block. Heres an example.

| Status | Response  |
|---|---|
| 200 |  |
| 400 |   |

I want to get this code inside the response row but when ever I try it completely breaks.

json
  {
    "id": 10,
    "username": "alanpartridge",
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "password_hash": "$2a$10$uhUIUmVWVnrBWx9rrDWhS.CPCWCZsyqqa8./whhfzBZydX7yvahHS",
    "password_salt": "$2a$10$uhUIUmVWVnrBWx9rrDWhS.",
    "created_at": "2015-02-14T20:45:26.433Z",
    "updated_at": "2015-02-14T20:45:26.540Z"
}

I am new to Markdown and if anyone could point me in the right direction it would be very much appreciated.

Github Flavored Markdown Supports HTML Tag

Simply put this (StackOverflow will not support though)-

<table>
<tr>
<th>
Status
</th>
<th>
Response
</th>
</tr>

<tr>

<td>
<pre>
<br/><br/><br/>200<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>400<br/>
</pre>
</td>

<td>
<pre>
json
  {
    "id": 10,
    "username": "alanpartridge",
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "password_hash": "$2a$10$uhUIUmVWVnrBWx9rrDWhS.CPCWCZsyqqa8./whhfzBZydX7yvahHS",
    "password_salt": "$2a$10$uhUIUmVWVnrBWx9rrDWhS.",
    "created_at": "2015-02-14T20:45:26.433Z",
    "updated_at": "2015-02-14T20:45:26.540Z"
}
</pre>
</td>

</tr>
</table>

Output:

_{Markdown Editor can really be helpful to visualize output as you write.}

_{Instead of <pre> tag we may also use triple-backticks ``` for showing a code block.}

You may also try text-based table like this (suited for StackOverflow)-

+---------------+--------+---------+
|       \       | Rating | Comment |
+---------------+--------+---------+
| One Piece     |  A | B |       ♢ |
+---------------+----+---+---------+
| Naruto        |  A | C |       ♧ |
+---------------+----+---+---------+
| One Punch Man |  A | A |       ♥ |
+---------------+----+---+---------+
| Death Note    |  A | B |       ♠ |
+---------------+----+---+---------+

_{Text Tables Generator is a wonderful site for this purpose.}
