I want to format JSON String in notepad++. Kindly guide me how to do so. I looked into this solution Notepad ++ JSON Format. It tells me to download the a tool from This web site. But I don't know which link to click out of 4 mentioned in that web site. Also, I just randomly downloaded one of the zip file and then unzipped it and it shows one dll file. Now what to do with that dll. Can some one guide me as I am a complete beginner. I have windows 10 running on my PC

EDIT 1 Some people are in so much hurry to give negative points. May be some people want to see code snippet even for this question. Huh!

EDIT 2 Anyways I tried below and IT DID NOT WORK

EDIT 3 Ok I fixed the issue. The problem is if you select multiple plugins together (multiple checkboxes) and install them there seems to be some issue with notepad++, so the solution for me was to install the plugin individually.

Always google so you can locate the latest package for both NPP and NPP Plugins.

I googled "notepad++ 64bit". Downloaded the free latest version at Notepad++ (64-bit) - Free download and software. Installed notepad++ by double-click on npp.?.?.?.Installer.x64.exe, installed the .exe to default Windows 64bit path which is, "C:\Program Files".

Then, I googled "notepad++ 64 json viewer plug". Knowing SourceForge.Net is a renowned download site, downloaded JSToolNpp download@SourceForge.net. I unzipped and copied JSMinNPP.dll to notePad++ root dir.

I loaded my newly installed notepad++ 64bit. I went to Settings and selected [import plug-in]. I pointed to the location of JSMinNPP.dll and clicked open.

I reloaded notepad++, went to PlugIns menu. To format one-line json string to multi-line json doc, I clicked JSTool->JSFormat or reverse multi-line json doc to one-line json string by JSTool->JSMin (json-Minified)!

All items are in this picture.
