This is not the same as the 'Auto-unescape strings' option already provided. The strings being unescaped are actual JSON structures. I'd like to see them replaced in-line as actual JSON.
It can be done with two steps but sure one step would be better.
"[\"one\",\"two\",\"three\"]"
I tried highlighting the text within quotes of the 'result' value and I get an error: SyntaxError: Expected property name or '}' in JSON at position 1 (line 1 column 2)
While most of the JSON I attempted to format looks basically correct, there seems to be a lot of actual '\' in the data, as if the selected text was not un-escaped of \"
This occurs whether the plugin is configured to auto-unescape strings or not.
My actual payload is 166KiB.
When decoding with jq
everything looks ok:
cat example.json | jq '.result|fromjson'
Done in v24.5.0
Many times I view JSON files that have embedded/escaped JSON strings for many field values. A hypothetical example might look like this
{ "result" : "{\"code\":4,\"message\":\"ouch that hurt\"}", "list": "[\"one\",\"two\",\"three\"]" }
Sometimes the JSON has multiple levels of this escaping going on. It would be nice to be able to click, doubleclick, or {metakey}-click, etc to decode embedded/escaped JSON within a JSON payload.
