JSON Formatting for VSCode, Notepad++, Chrome & IDEs

Formatting JSON across Popular Code Editors & Extensions

Whether you work in Visual Studio Code, Notepad++, Sublime Text, IntelliJ IDEA, or Chrome Browser extensions, formatting JSON accurately keeps your API workflows clean.

Editor Shortcuts & Workflow Tips:

• VSCode: Press Shift + Alt + F (Windows/Linux) or Shift + Option + F (Mac) to format open JSON documents.
• Notepad++: Install the JSTool plugin or use JSON Viewer plugin from Plugin Admin to format raw payloads.
• Browser Extensions: Use JSON2X for 100% private, client-side formatting without sending sensitive payload data to external servers.

// VSCode settings.json for automatic JSON formatting:
{
  "[json]": {
    "editor.defaultFormatter": "vscode.json-language-features",
    "editor.formatOnSave": true
  }
}
