So I’ve worked with JSON in fme quite a lot, and I’ve even used the JSON syntax highlighting when trying to delve into it. What I did NOT realise though was that the JSON Syntax will automatically format the JSON for you - no need to use a JSONFormatter to help you read it.

Probably this was know to others already but for me this was a nice surprise

Cool, thanks for sharing! I’ve never used that feature, I tend to copy-paste the larger JSON documents into Notepad++ and work with it there.

Yeah, right - This now makes it a lot quicker for me to check my _response_body and make sense of it


Hi @virtualcitymatt 

Glad to hear you find the JSON syntax high-lighting useful! This feature was introduced in FME 2022 and should be available as an option in text editor dialogs.

Please note, when JSON syntax is enabled, the JSON data is represented differently as objects are ordered alphabetically.
