Except if it's a single line file, only god can help you then. (Or running prettier -w on it before opening it or whatever.)

cat file.json | jq also works

jq < file.json

cat is for concatenating multiple files, not redirecting single files.

Render Media works the best

rm file.json

[-] xavier666@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

Yes, Render Media is the best. It's hard to believe that not many people know about this tool. It's also natively installed in all Linux distros.

4.2 megs on one line? Vim probably can handle it fine, although syntax won't be highlighted past a certain point

[-] bjornsno@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

I've accidentally opened enormous single line json files more than once. Could be lsp config or treesitter or any number of things but trying to do any operations after opening such a file is not a good time.

[-] fl42v@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah, very well may be. LSPs always slow down opening big files, so I usually inspect those with an empty/different config

[-] BaldProphet@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago

Technically every JSON file is a single line, with line break characters here and there

[-] expr@programming.dev 3 points 11 months ago

:syntax off and it works just fine.
