This would be awesome for piping from other tools (the unix philosophy). If the content-type is missing, it could use the pygments "guess" API which uses some rules to guess content, like shebang lines, imports, <html> etc.

Example usage:

curl

Useful if you need to run curl to add a bunch of headers

$ curl -H 'Accepts: application/json' -H 'Authorization: Bearer [redacted token]' -H 'Authentication: Simple [redacted token]' '[redacted URI]' | act json

less

$ lessc styles.less | act css

jinja2

$ cat data.json | jinja2 index.html | act html

xcpretty

No idea why you'd do this, maybe for debugging

$ xcpretty -r junit | act xml

It should work like the following example, making this tool a barebones https://github.com/jakubroztocil/httpie :smile: 

$ curl https://api.github.com/repos/CocoaPods/CocoaPods 2>/dev/null | act --lexer=json --prettify
