Instead of the magic Python hack as an alias, the example page should probably recommend using the "identifiy transform" operator . offered by jq (http://stedolan.github.io/jq/). This will produce nicely formatted JSON (even with colours if stdout is a tty) from a jsonlines file:

$ cat data.jsonl | jq .

Or even:

$ jq . data.jsonl
