I have log files with json rows inside - less displays it as just plain text Can I colorize the output with less abilities? As well as I didn't find any less-compatible third party tool with json highlighting Example of such file {"date":"2021-10-21 16:09:54", "perf":{"action":"getTimelineByClient", "time":46.2}} {"date":"2021-10-22 16:09:54", "perf":{"action":"getTimelineByClient", "time":46.2}} {"date":"2021-10-23 16:09:54", "perf":{"action":"getTimelineByClient", "time":46.2}} Edit @glennjackman kindly pointed to https://github.com/sharkdp/bat - great tool, not fit for my needs, but maybe will be helpful for the other. bat firstly parses the file and afterwards tries to show it. 120k of short json rows were pretty heavy for my machine
