How to improve JSON formatting in Postman extension for VS Code? #13259

Closed said96dev closed 1 week ago

said96dev commented 1 week ago

Is there an existing issue for this?

Describe the Issue

I'm using the Postman extension in Visual Studio Code to test my API endpoints. When I send a request and receive a JSON response, the data is displayed in an unformatted, "ugly" structure, making it hard to read (see screenshot below).

I've tried switching to the "Pretty" view, but it doesn’t seem to improve the formatting.

Steps To Reproduce

Are there any settings in the Postman extension for VS Code to improve JSON formatting? Or are there alternative ways to display the response in a readable, structured format directly within Visual Studio Code?

Any help would be appreciated!
