Prettify JSON plugin for Sublime Text 2 & 3

Installation

Install this sublime text package via Package Control

Usage

To prettify JSON, make selection of json and press keys:

• Linux: ctrl+alt+j
• Windows: ctrl+alt+j
• OS X: cmd+ctrl+j

or through Command Palette Ctrl+Shift+P find "Pretty JSON: Reformat (Pretty Print) JSON"

If selection is empty and configuration entry use_entire_file_if_no_selection is true, tries to prettify whole file.

If JSON is not valid it will be displayed in status bar of sublime.

Compress / Minify JSON

Using Command Palette Ctrl+Shift+P find "Pretty JSON: Minify (compress) JSON" this will make selection or full buffer as single line JSON which later you can use in command lines or somewhere else

Default configuration

use_entire_file_if_no_selection - true

indent - 2

sort_keys - false

ensure_ascii - false

Using tabs for indentation

You can change configuration key indent to string value "\t" or any other string.

"indent" : "\t",

Be sure "Indent Using Spaces" is unchecked otherwise you will not see effect and ST2 will convert it back to spaces.
