If the json is formatted like this
{
'myfield' : 'myvalue'
}

formatting or tree view fail. It should not.

It'd be awesome if you could copy the value directly from the JSON viewer object.

Flow would be something like

1. Right click object in JSON Viewer
2. Click Copy
3. Viola

When I selected a json response from a web service as text and try to format that using the plugin, error is displayed.

After the error dialog box, the selection changes. Attached the gif for the same

Where I can found a DLL?

Thank you

When parsing the JSON with new Date(1362523281808), the result eliminates the space between new and Date

{"timestamp":new Date(1362523281808)}

parses to

{
    "timestamp": newDate(1362523281808)
}

n++ 6.2 unicode and plugin version 1.21

I had this plugin but it no longer works even though I have the DLL in y plugins folder. When I attempt to install it with the manager I get:
The hash of plugin package "MPPJSPNViewerX64.zip" is not correct. Exprected:
8aa2b15de7992f7699c92ac89212dc966a146bec9651ba4c2220e40bc5544e36
<> Found:
df0ba2f0aebc2f20845e5728269d8d1ea962924983ffc79fbd56383ef293a3
This plugin won't be installed.

Can this be fixed? Where can a get the correct .dll?

As a side note, I have never understood why developers do not make the text in the error popups selectable. It was a pain typing all that by hand and it probably has typos in it. It would have been so much easier to cut and paste

I sometimes find the "Format JSON" tool fails part-way through my file. I did some testing using this string:

{"abc":{"1":"One","2":"Two","3":"Three"}}

I found that depending on where I added them, the sequence \" breaks the formatting.

Here are the scenarios I've found thus far that break formatting:

1. Including \" immediately before the closing ".
2. Including \"\" anywhere in a string.

Note that "Show JSON Viewer" correctly parses the text in each of these cases. It's just the formatter that's failing.

One workaround I've found for point 1 is that if I manually add a space immediately before the closing ", the formatting works.

NotePad++ gets hanged when "Show JSON Viewer" option is clicked for large JSON files. But "Format JSON" option is working fine. I tried to open JSON Viewer window for a .geojson file. The geojson file is almost 718kb in size

Trying to display "{"AssetIds":[2,3],"AssetUids":null,"AttributeIds":[1,6,9,11,2,3,48],"AttributeNames":null,"StartTimeUtc":"2019-11-11T12:00:00Z","EndTimeUtc":"2019-11-12T12:00:00Z","QueryPageProterty":{"IsEndOfQuery":false,"CurrentMaxPage":500,"CorrelationId":"2019-11-28,04:56:39.018-QueryPage-aa751e69-bee5-40c5-a37f-a86068c05ef4","CurrentPage":0,"ContinuationToken":null}}"

PR to follow...

Formatting a JSON file with line comments does not work 100%. For example, formatting the following:

   {"file_IN_FileFilter_StartsWith": {    "value": "Pattern_InSample"   }, // first part of file name
        "file_IN_FileFilter_EndsWith": {     "value": ""         }
        }

will result in the following:

   "file_IN_FileFilter_StartsWith": {
   	"value": "Pattern_InSample"
   },
   //firstpartoffilename"file_IN_FileFilter_EndsWith": {
   	"value": ""
   }
} 

The comment concatenates with a key.

I also noticed that when formatting the json file that has space for identation and CRLF as EOL, will be converted to tab and LF. Is it possible to have a setting that states what should be used when formatting the json file?

I have a valid JSON (1st trying with this plugin go figure) and activate and get a msgbox from the plugin stating "Access Violation" as shown here:

Ideas? I have many NPP plugins (I'm still running 32bit NPP on 64bit WIN7 for plugin compatibility) and this is the only one currently generating an error.

Consider this simple faulty json :
{"a":1}}

Try to "Format JSON" and Notepad++ instantaneously hangs on us.

Given this minified JSON:

{"tokens":{"access":["access1","access2","access3","access4","access5"],"completion":"completion1","signature":"tokenSig"}}

The formatted JSON is:

{
    "tokens": {
        "access": ["access1",
        "access2",
        "access3",
        "access4",
        "access5"],
        "completion": "completion1",
        "signature": "tokenSig"
    }
}

I think this obscures the level of hierarchy introduced by the nested array. It should probably be more like this:

{
    "tokens": {
        "access": [
            "access1",
            "access2",
            "access3",
            "access4",
            "access5"
        ],
        "completion": "completion1",
        "signature": "tokenSig"
    }
}

Super useful plugin, thanks!

When the json is from F12 network trace, it contain ". So I need to replace " with " manually.

The following json string cannot be formatted. If one selects it and uses "Format JSON", Notepad++ will hang.

{"k0":[{"k1":"a\"b\"","k2":{"k3":"a\"b\"c"}}]}

There are probably shorter examples. But this basic example works properly :

{"k": "\"v\""}

The same string without the escaped double quotes will format properly to

{
    "k0": [{
        "k1": "ab",
        "k2": {
            "k3": "abc"
        }
    }]
}

A nice feature would be double clicking an object in the JSON viewer would jump to the corresponding key/value pair in the notepad window.

If there is an error in JASON file, then formatting JASON deletes the remaining part of the file.

Steps to reproduce

User below JASON and perform jason formatting (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+M)

	]
}

notice , is missing after first list.

Expected Output:

Either report an error or at least don't delete the file.

Actual Output:

File contents have been removed from the point till end where error was there.

When formatting, \n (LF) will always be used as the new line character. Formatting should respect the option set in Preferences -> New Document -> Format (Line ending).

You just get some generic warning and a highlighted gray (which doesn't give you any clue as to why its failing). a line number and character position would be nice, but a lot of times I have valid json which gets rejected. I'm guessing that must be because its expecting some expression to be in quotes and its not, but for formatting and/or tree view that seems too stringent. Its still easy to know where the field is and the value ends without it being perfect JSON.

NPP serves a "PluginsManager::runPluginCommand Exception" dialog containing only an "Access violation" message if you try to show the viewer for an array that starts with a null element. A minimal example causing the behavior is a file that looks like this:

[null,1]

Please let me know if I am missing anything

Hello,

When i choose the 'Format JSON' option from the menubar then it leaves too many spaces in the front of each item, have a look at the photo.

Here is my NPP version:

Thanks for providing a great plugin - it's proved helpful at times.

However, after re-imaging a windows 10 box, I'm unable to re-install JSON-Viewer.

It's not available via the plugin manager for Notepad++ 6.9.2 or 7,,
and I can't seem to get the manual copy NPPJSONViewer.dll trick to work...

any suggestions?

Would be very helpful

I've set global NPP option:
Preferences>Language>Tab Settings>JSON>Tab size=4, Replace by space

I believe that this setting should be respected by JSON Formatter tool. Currently, formatter always uses TABs.

1.32 version

1. Select attached file and open in notepad++ with JSON-Viewer plugin.
2. Press 'End' key or move caret to end of text
3. Press 'Ctrl+Shift+Alt+M' combination.
4. External Curve brackets are missed in formatted JSON

JSONViewerIssue.txt

• Seen with bruderstein/nppPluginManager#40 (comment)
  at https://npppm.bruderste.in/plugins/edit/json-viewer, there is no install sequence configured for this plugin, just the version number is there
• Could you please zip the dlls and add them to the release, seems that the PluginManager could just deal with zip packages and not with single dll files at least not the web interface

In the JSON Viewer the "false"-Value of booleans are displayed with "fals".

Notepad++ v7.6.6 (32-bit) Windows 7

It would be really useful if the tree view could automatically stay synchronized with changes to the json text. I don't know if the Notepad++ plugin framework facilitates this but please consider. Thanks.

"Format JSON" should change the language setting of the current Notepad++ tab to JSON, this will provide for good UX

Maybe because no binaries here ?

From where do I get the dll file?

I have some validated JSON (verified by jsonlint.com) and the viewer is only showing the first level object.

Other times, I get an 'Unknown exception': PluginsManager::runPluginCommand Exception.

It was working perfectly before I upgraded to v1.22
I removed, reinstalled, but no luck.

If you have the following text in a file and try to use format JSON functionality it is transformed to something that is not exactly the same representation. Some rounding occurs.

Orignal text:
{"theNumber":4475.3299999999999}

Formatted JSON text:
{
"theNumber": 4475.33
}

Expected formatted JSON text (what should be the correct):
{
"theNumber":4475.3299999999999
}

Please make the plugin for 64bit available.
Thank you in advance.

Could you please put a 64 bit build of this plugin on sourceforge.net? The file currently there only works with the 32 bit build of Notepad++. Thanks.

I noticed that the value of false (unquoted) displays incorrectly in the tree viewer.

{
  "name": "foo",
  "isFoo": true,
  "isBar": false,
  "isTrueString": "true",
  "isFalseString": "false"
}

See the value for isBar displays as: fals

Plugins > JsonViewer > About, Click on the website link which shows "https://github.com/kapilratnani/JSON-Viewer".

It opens up not the github, but the sourceforge link.

The link here should be changed

Hi, Are you planning to create a 64-bit version? I have installed the x64 ver of Notepad++, but I can't install the plugin.

Thanks

Plug-in does not work for 64 bit Notepad++, can you add 64 Bit plug-in? Thanks

I've installed this plugin by :

• open NPP
• select Plugins / Open Plugins Folder
• copying latest DLL there
• restart NPP
  Open a json file, and navigate to Plugins / ... but no "JSON Viewer" option :(

Also tried with plugin Admin... select from "Available" json viewer 1.32, Install, but nothing again... not even the DLL on the folder...

So, what's wrong? Thanks for any hint

I noticed that some numeric values are changed after formatting the JSON.

To reproduce:
1.Input the following text and select it
{"number":-1722.1864265316147}
2.Format text using "Plugins-JSON Viewer-Format JSON"
3.The result is
{
"number": -1722.1864265316149
}
