+5Be amazing if the inspector had a better way of viewing and looking through json objects/arrays similar to online json editors such as - http://www.jsoneditoronline.org/.
Currently opening and viewing json in FME is a little painful especially if you have a very large json response from an API.
+6I'm a bit baffled by this too! I'm constantly having to copy the json responses to Notepad++ and format them with the JSTool Plugin. I would have expected we'd get an option in this dialog to do so, or actually have it auto-recognize that it's JSON and format it right away.
+7When I am working with JSON and need to see it in pretty print, I put in a JSON Formatter in the workspace. You can inspect launch inspector from the formatter transformer.
You can double click in the json field <normally _results> in inspector and there is a text formatting option <bottom left of the dialog>. I set mine to Java, sorry for not being able to add in a screen shot as well.
If you are doing a LOT of work with JSON it's a good idea to remove the formatter, it can cause a performance hit. Hope that helps some!
+6Thanks a lot for that tip BTW. Saves a trip to Notepad ++ at times, although I still find it suite my workflow at times as i can keep data there to refer back to at any time, regardless of what I have going on in my workspace's feature cache. Would still like to see an option to format JSON directly when inspecting the attribute values. Both the Java & Javascript options don't format JSON suitably to make it readable.
