Here's a similar trick with the Python json module:

  echo '{"hello":"there"}' | python -mjson.tool

dang and all this time I've been doing this all this time:

   echo '{"hello": "there"}' | python -c "import json, sys; print json.dumps(json.load(sys.stdin), indent=4)"

Thanks for the tip!

And Perl's JSON::XS

     echo '{"hello":"there"}' | json_xs

Or for pretty colors, try Data::Printer

    echo '{"hello":"there"}' | perl -MJSON -MDDP -E '$f = decode_json readline; p $f'

Is there a colored JSON dumper in Perl?

yeah that's mentioned on the second line of TFA
