How to reformat JSON in Notepad++?

To reformat JSON in Notepad++, you can use the built-in "JSTool" plugin. This plugin provides features for formatting and validating JSON documents. Here's how you can reformat JSON using the "JSTool" plugin:

  1. Install JSTool Plugin:

    • Open Notepad++.
    • Go to the "Plugins" menu.
    • Click on "Plugins Admin..."
    • Search for "JSTool" in the available plugins list.
    • Check the box next to "JSTool" and click the "Install" button.
    • Once the installation is complete, restart Notepad++.

  2. Reformat JSON:

    • Open the JSON file you want to reformat.
    • Select the entire JSON content you want to reformat.

  3. Reformat Options:

    • Once the JSON content is selected, go to the "Plugins" menu.
    • Navigate to "JSTool" and choose "JSFormat".

Here's an example JSON content before and after reformatting:

Before Reformatting:

json
{"name":"Alice","age":30,"city":"New York"}

After Reformatting:

json
{
    "name": "Alice",
    "age": 30,
    "city": "New York"
}

As shown in the example, the JSON content has been reformatted with proper indentation, making it more readable and organized.

Please note that the actual menu names and steps might slightly differ depending on the version of Notepad++ you're using. But the general process of installing the "JSTool" plugin and using it to reformat JSON documents remains the same.
