+Using simplejson from the shell to validate and
+pretty-print::
+    
+    $ echo '{"json":"obj"}' | python -msimplejson
+    {
+        "json": "obj"
+    }
+    $ echo '{ 1.2:3.4}' | python -msimplejson
+    Expecting property name: line 1 column 2 (char 2)
+
+Note that the JSON produced by this module's default settings
+is a subset of YAML, so it may be used as a serializer for that as well.
