You can do this on the command line: python3 -m json.tool some.json (as already mentioned in the commentaries to the question, thanks to @Kai Petzke for the python3 suggestion).

Note that json.loads converts json arrays into lists. If you need to get a value of a dictionary in a list, then you will need to index the list for the dictionary first to get the value. This is an easy mistake to make especially if an API returns a JSON array with a single object in it. For example:

Parsing by any of the above methods will result, by default, in a perfectly ordinary Python data structure, composed of the perfectly ordinary built-in types dict, list, str, int, float, bool (JSON true and false become Python constants True and False) and NoneType (JSON null becomes the Python constant None).
