Problem
You want to make a JSON file (string) human-readable.
Solution
curl -s http://www.reddit.com/r/nsfw/.json | python -mjson.tool
For some more alternatives please refer to this post.
Update (20121021)
Another way is to use jq, a powerful command-line tool for querying JSON files.
