A better JSON for Vim: distinct highlighting of keywords vs values, JSON-specific (non-JS) warnings, quote concealing. Pathogen-friendly.

Add command to convert JSON to YAML (and back again) #62

I often find myself with one or the other of these two formats, but it's currently requires copying and pasting the content into (typically) and online conversion thing.

My ideal scenario would be to highlight some JSON (in any type of file...ideally), type a command, and have it update the selection with the YAML (or the other way around).

Insane? Maybe. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Awesome? Most definitely! :smile:

Just install json2yaml tool and then enter :%!json2yaml or :%!yaml2json in Vim.

@jkufner this worked fabulously, btw. :smiley_cat: Thanks!
