## Tools

- **pp_json** - pretty prints json
- **is_json** - returns true if valid json; false otherwise

## Examples

```sh
# curl json data and pretty print the results
curl https://coderwall.com/bobwilliams.json | pp_json

# pretty print the contents of an existing json file
less data.json | pp_json

# json data directly from the command line
echo '{"b":2, "a":1}' | pp_json
```

# curl json data and pretty print the results
curl https://coderwall.com/bobwilliams.json | is_json
