Plugin does not work #7

Hi. I installed the plugin using make, make install as the instructions say.

When I try to beautify valid JSON text I get the following error:

lexical error: invalid char in json text.
              {'server.port': 10443, 'serv
(right here  -----^

It seems like r is the invalid character, but if I move the json values around, the error is still the same. Seems like the 3rd character in the first json key is allways invalid.

I've been looking for such plugin for many years and it would be awesome to get it working.

Hello, @jl2035 , I think the reason for the above error are the single ' quotes. The JSON standard requires using double quotes ".

For e.g. this would prettify without errors: {"server.port":10443}

while the one below will fail: {'server.port':10443}

I am assuming that the problem is gone. Feel free to reopen the ticket if the issue persists.
