Add json file association to editor

Post by alanWsmith »

I'm using Oxygen to build XSLT stylesheets that will turn XML into JSON files. I setup a Transformation Scenario to save the .json output and then open it in the Oxygen editor. The first time I did this it asked me which file type to associate the extension with. Naturally, I chose the JavaScript option and that works great.

My suggestion is to default the editor so that JSON files are automatically associated with the JavaScript styling in the editor.

Thanks,

Hi Alan,

Good news.

Oxygen 13 which will be available in a couple of weeks will have JSON support. This means it will recognize JSON files out of the box, will have JSON validation, format and indent and a Grid page to see the JSON in structured view.
It will also contain a tool to convert XML to JSON.

Regards,
Radu

Fantastic. I'm in the middle of a huge XML to JSON conversion project right now. Those improvements will make my life much simpler.

Cheers,
