How do you open and format the JSON file that Yahoo supplies?

I requested a download of my questions and answers but it is a JSON file. I am able to view it but I have to idea of how to format it.

Updated 1 day ago:

I added the JSON viewer to Notepad++ and I am able to view the formatted file. For anyone who cares you do not get just questions and answers, you also get all associated flags, etc. It would be very difficult to clean it up to only show questions and/or answers. Probably not worth the trouble.

    The article below has some info. Apparently what OS you're using makes a difference. If you don't find the help you need in that article, you can do a search (as I did) on "How do you open and format a JSON file" and review other articles that come up.
