If you're on macOS, I can't recommend this app enough:

jq and the like are great, but when you're trying to understand something... NSTableView is often times easier to fall back to, haha.

jq is nice because it can handle massive json files. Do you know if this app handles hundreds of mb files?

It likely works about as fine as NSJSONSerialization does, which is to say: I've had no issues, although the "validating" does sometimes lag and that can be annoying.

If someone else uses it I'd be interested in their thoughts.
