      Is there a way to provoke Notepad++ to validate my JSON? Here’s an example of a site that does this:

        my way is to use python script plugin and call json.loads(editor.getText()) but what about using
        JSON VIewer and JSTool plugin? Do those help in this case?

          I do what @Ekopalypse does to some extent - I use an external program jq to validate JSON. I have JSTool installed and while good, it does not validate JSON, it can format it nicely and provides a tree viewer though.

          Cheers.

            I should clarify, when I say “external” - I use an NppExec script called “compile” that based on the extension runs an external program. In this case, .json launches the jq command on the current file.

            Cheers.

              These look great but I would love to have a pull-down that would do the validation … more than the formatting.

                If that’s a feature request, I don’t think you’ll ever see that type of thing inside of Notepad++. But, if you work with some of the earlier suggestions, you can possibly create something that you could tie to perhaps a toolbar button or a keycombo or a menu entry…

                  Download and install this plugin JSToolNpp ,Then perform operations like this Plugins | JSTool | JSFormat.
                  If you don’t want to install plugins, you can perform JSON beautification operations on JSON Formatter
