Can sublime format JSON?I have a feeling the answer is no, but I just wanted to check. I'm working on some JSON files for a project and it would be really nice if I could just hit a button and have them formatted nicely.

Yes, Sublime Text has the ability to format JSON files to make them more readable. It uses a plugin called ‘JSFormat’, which you can easily find and install. Once installed, you can simply open the JSON file in Sublime, and then type the hotkey combination of “Ctrl+Alt+F”. This should automatically format the file in question. Alternatively, you can right-click the selected portion of your file and select "Format Selection" which should do the same thing.
