pistol not print JSON data

[Ronan Mac Fhlannchadha]

What is the thinking behind not print JSON data and instead displaying a message stating that it is JSON data?

That's a good question :) The issue is the mime type of a JSON file is application/json and not text/json or anything that would match text/*. See this table:

pistol/internal_writers/map.go

Lines 8 to 20 in d827ec3

 var internalWritersRegexMap = map[string] func(string, string) (func(w io.Writer) error, error) { 
 	"text/*": NewChromaWriter, 
 	"application/zip": NewArchiveLister, 
 	"application/x-rar-compressed": NewArchiveLister, 
 	"application/x-tar": NewArchiveLister, 
 	"application/x-xz": NewArchiveLister, 
 	"application/x-bzip2": NewArchiveLister, 
 	"application/gzip": NewArchiveLister, 
 	"application/x-lz4": NewArchiveLister, 
 	"application/x-snappy-framed": NewArchiveLister, 
 	"application/x-zstd": NewArchiveLister, 
 	// TODO: Match brotli when libmagic supports it 
 } 

Feel free @RonanMacF to try and a line there for application/json and use the NewChromaWriter as the key in that map.
