title: Much needed: well-highlighted JSON log viewer
body: <p>Using <a href="https://github.com/flatiron/winston">winston</a> for node.js logging, I get json log files. A log file in this vein is simply a sequence of (newline delimited) json objects. This is great for log querying and treating logs as first-class data!</p>
  
  <p>However, both <code>Sublime</code> and <code>gedit</code> (at least the versions of them I'm using on Ubuntu, sublime 2 and gedit 3.6.2), poorly highlight json - they use the same color for keys and values, making any log drilling quite painful and really impossible to go through in any remotely humane manner.</p>
  
  <p>Existing <code>chrome extensions</code> for json highlighting aren't helpful here either - they can't handle a collection of json objects and thus fail displaying these log files unless I manually turn them into an array within a synthetic parent object first (thus turning them into a json object). This is tedious in the case of viewing a log file that is still being written to and in general......</p>
  
  <p>Is there any tool that can both swallow json log files as is, and at the same time highlight keys in a different color than values, so that json logs are also friendly to man, not only to machine?? this is a real pain.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
