I think we should switch to using dedicated lexers where these lexers are available in Lexilla. This allows better highlighting, where for instance for JSON we can color the keys differently from the values and also provide optional comment support.
The exact highlighting mapping is open for discussion - I used keys in dicts to be colored like keys in conf files but it can be changed to something different.
