Format my JSON
-
Is there a way to provoke Notepad++ to validate my JSON? Here’s an example of a site that does this:
https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/
-
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
jqto 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 thejqcommand 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
