Pandoc is one of my favourite tools of the past decade.
Most often I'm using it to create HTML or PDF output from Markdown source, though it can also be used to bootstrap LaTeX documents.
Looking over the conversion formats, I'm noticing that pandoc accepts JSON as either a source or output format.
Given some recent web-scraping projects I've been engaged with, this ... looks interesting, particularly married to my other favourite new tool, jq, for parsing and manipulating JSON output....
