Notepad++ JSON Syntax Hiligher.
- Utilizes the oft ignored background color to help the minimal syntax of JSON stand out.
- Invalid values are blatantly hilighted in a red background and white text
- Automatically activates on files with the
.json
extension
- Clone this repository or download
JSON.xml
in thelib
folder - Open Notepad++
- Open the "Language" menu
- Select "Define your language..."
- Click "Import..."
- Navigate to and select
JSON.xml
- Select "OK" on the "Import successful" dialog and close the "User Defined Language" dialog/panel
- Enjoy!
If you need to manually select the JSON hilighter for any reason, it should appear near the bottom of the "Languages" dropdown as "JSON".
You may need to restart Notepad++ for JSON to show up in the language menu and automatically be applied to JSON files.
