Support for colorized JSON output

[alexejk]

It would be great if JSON output can be colorized to make viewing/working with JSON output easier.

An example would be having all JSON keys in one color, strings values in another, and having number values in third. Very similar to what e.g http://www.bodurov.com/JsonFormatter/ would produce in terms of colors. Another example is: http://pygments.org/demo/5862267/

Possible one could simply approach coloring of JSON result by piping through e.g Pygments?
An example from SO (source: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25638905/coloring-json-output-in-python)

from pygments import highlight, lexers, formatters
colorful_json = highlight(unicode(formatted_json, 'UTF-8'), lexers.JsonLexer(), formatters.TerminalFormatter())
print(colorful_json)

We’ve imported existing feature requests from GitHub - Search for this issue there!

And don't worry, this issue will still exist on GitHub for posterity's sake. As it’s a text-only import of the original post into UserVoice, we’ll still be keeping in mind the comments and discussion that already exist here on the GitHub issue.
