Format JSON in free TextWrangler

Here is an easy way to get formatted JSON in FREE TextWrangler:

Create text (Python) file:
~/Library/Application\ Support/TextWrangler/Text\ Filters/Format\ JSON.py




#!/usr/local/bin/python
import fileinput
import json
if __name__ == "__main__":
  text = ''
  for line in fileinput.input():
    text = text + ' ' + line.strip()    
  jsonObj = json.loads(text)  
  print json.dumps(jsonObj, sort_keys=True, indent=2) 



or shorter:


#!/usr/local/bin/python
import fileinput
import json
print json.dumps( json.loads(''.join([line.strip() for line in fileinput.input()])), sort_keys=True, indent=2)
