Using simplejson from the shell to validate and
pretty-print::
    
    $ echo '{"json":"obj"}' | python -msimplejson
    {
        "json": "obj"
    }
    $ echo '{ 1.2:3.4}' | python -msimplejson
    Expecting property name: line 1 column 2 (char 2)

Note that the JSON produced by this module's default settings
is a subset of YAML, so it may be used as a serializer for that as well.
