fix-json uses jsonic to parse json data in the current editor, then reformats the content using a simple JSON.stringify call.

You can enter JSON data using the relaxed rules supported by jsonic. For instance, quotes around property names and many string values are not required. This makes it much easier to type JSON, or to convert JavaScript objects into valid JSON.

Simply run the Fix JSON command in VS Code to fix either the selected content in the current file, or the complete file if there is no selection.

If errors are encountered during the process of parsing your existing content, they will be visualized in the editor.

The extension indents the generated JSON using a default number of spaces as configured in your editor.tabSize setting. You can use the setting fixJson.indentationSpaces to override the number specifically for this extension.

No effort is made to provide formatting beyond the standard output from JSON.stringify(text, null, indentation). I recommend using Prettier.

This extension contributes the following settings:

• fixJson.indentationSpaces: Number of spaces to use for indentation of formatted JSON output. If not set, your editor.tabSize setting is used.
