pistol not print JSON data

[RonanMacF]

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.
