For me, when I searched for the Plugin, it was named something else, "JSON Viewer" or something like that. After installing it, it shows up as "JSTool" as you showed in the video. Other than that, this video was perfect for me. Thank you!

If you don't see the collapse/unfold icons on the left, active them via Settings > Margins/Border/Edge > Folder Margin Style

To convert a text in a Notepad file into a JSON file, you need to follow these steps:

1. First, ensure that your text follows a specific format. JSON requires key-value pairs enclosed in curly braces ({}) with each pair separated by a comma (, ). Keys and values should be enclosed in double quotation marks (""), and should also be separated by a colon (:).
For example:
```
{
"key1": "value1",
"key2": "value2",
"key3": "value3"
}
```

2. Open your Notepad file and reformat the text to match the JSON format. Make sure all the necessary double quotation marks, commas, and colons are correctly placed.

3. Save the text file with a `.json` extension. For example, `myFile.json`.

That's it! Your Notepad file is now converted into a JSON file. You can now use this JSON file in any programming language or system that supports JSON.
