Just a note that tabulate does support multi-line text now (in its master branch, yet to be released).

This is now working. Please upgrade pgcli (pip install -U pgcli).

SELECT jsonb_pretty(EmployeeDetails) AS EmployeeDetails FROM tbl_TestJSON;
+-----------------------------------+
| employeedetails                   |
