How to style a JSON block in Github Wiki?

Question

Some color-syntaxing enrichment can be applied with the following blockcode syntax

```json
Here goes your json object definition
```

Note: This won't prettify the json representation. To do so, one can previously rely on an external service such as jsbeautifier.org and paste the prettified result in the wiki.

```javascript
{ "some": "json" }
```

I tried using json but didn't like the way it looked. javascript looks a bit more pleasing to my eye.

```yaml
{
   "this-json": "looks awesome..."
}

Result

If you want to have keys a different colour to the parameters, set your language as yaml

@Ankanna's answer gave me the idea of going through github's supported language list and yaml was my best find.

I encountered the same problem. So, I tried representing the JSON in different Language syntax formats.But all time favorites are Perl, js, python, & elixir.

This is how it looks.
