+1 because the general idea is one of my most commonly used utility
functions. There should also be a similar function for writing to a file,
e.g. json.dumpf if we stick to this naming scheme.
As an alternative, pathlib.Path.read/write_text are pretty cool, maybe we
could have .read/write_json?
In any case if we add anything like this it would probably make sense to
add similar functions for pickle, and maybe other formats if the API is
obvious enough.
