Do not use this project, I’ve abandoned it.

This is a simple JSON editing mode for Emacs.

• Folding of Objects and Arrays (C-c C-f to toggle next one, C-c C-u to unfold everything)
• Pretty printing files (C-c C-p) (by default when file is opened as well, json-mode-pretty-print-on-open can be set to nil to disable this)
• Minification (C-c C-m)
• Idle time validation with result displayed on mode line
• Validation (C-c C-v)
• Get a path to value at point (C-c C-l) in following formats
  • JavaScript notation (default)
  • bracket notation
  • JSON pointer (RFC 6091)

The easiest way to install this mode is to simply put it somewhere in load-path and add

(require 'json-mode)

to your init file.

Files with .json extension will be opened with this mode by default.

This mode has autoload comments, so it should work nicely with lazy loading setups.

• Pretty printing and minifying replaces {} with null
