A pretty-printer for files containing more than one json object. 

## Overview

Consider the following file:

```json

{"abc": "def"}{"ham": "spam", "numbers": [1, 2, 3]}{"foo": "bar"}

```

The contents of this file do not constitute a valid json object when taken as a whole. Instead, the file contains a _stream_ of json objects. Jsoncat will pretty-print this file as so:

```json

{

	"abc": "def"

}

{

	"ham": "spam",

	"numbers": [

		1,

		2,

		3

	]

}

{

	"foo": "bar"

}

```

## Installation

```bash

pip install jsoncatcmd

```

## Usage

Read from a file:

```bash

jsoncat myfile.json

```

Read from stdin:

```bash

cat myfile.json | jsoncat

```

Read a gzipped json stream:

```bash

cat myfile.json.gz | zcat | jsoncat

```
