Actually Visual Studio Code does include a JSON Linting tool: Right-click on the JSON text and select "Format Document".

This is extremely helpful and clear. Thank you so much!

im so happy that i called an API :) ima let this video for tomorrow, gotta sleep now ;)

[theepicguy]

This is so cool...I'm going to learn how the api works

[dougb]

@1:34 - it gives you that information twice so-as not to break the dependent applications and make the convention change nonbreaking. At some point, maybe they will remove one or the other.

this is the best thing on the blue planet....calling an api....happy that it worked :)

Instead of using a JSON lint tool, just use `print(json.dumps(json_data), sort_keys=True, ident=4)`

[NurArafatShomik]

Just add 'indent=4' as in 'person_json = json.dumps(person_dict, indent=4)'. It would print a human readable output. You don't need a third party JSON Linter.

There is no plugin or functionality for JSON linting in VSCode? (And side-by-view too)

Why is there a mix of { and [ brackets?
Is it better to keep it the same or does it affect it?

[emanelmoshneb]

why didnt you import json to be defined, it didnt work until i inserted import json before using json.dumps

[superjzh]

[7:26] I think here she made a mistake about the json.dumps(). If you want to convert a dictionary to json object, you should use json.loads(). json.dumps() converts a json object to a python string object
