I want to format JSON String in notepad++. Kindly guide me how to do so. I looked into this solution Notepad ++ JSON Format. It tells me to download the a tool from This web site. But I don't know which link to click out of 4 mentioned in that web site. Also, I just randomly downloaded one of the zip file and then unzipped it and it shows one dll file. Now what to do with that dll. Can some one guide me as I am a complete beginner. I have windows 10 running on my PC
EDIT 1 Some people are in so much hurry to give negative points. May be some people want to see code snippet even for this question. Huh!
EDIT 2 Anyways I tried below and IT DID NOT WORK
This is how my notepad ++ looks like after installing them.
EDIT 3 Ok I fixed the issue. The problem is if you select multiple plugins together (multiple checkboxes) and install them there seems to be some issue with notepad++, so the solution for me was to install the plugin individually.

Formatting# You can format your JSON document using Ctrl+Shift+I or Format Document from the context menu.
Yes, if notepad is a text editor.
To format and indent the code: select all the json fragment. click "Plugins"/"JSON Viewer"/"Format JSON" or use the shortcut Ctrl + Alt + Shift + M.
However, if you want to let Notepad++ format JSON, you need to install certain plugins in Notepad++. At present, there are 2 main Notepad++ JSON formatter plugins. The first is JSON Viewer, and the other is JSTool. JSON Viewer is an online web-based plugin that can help you view, analyze, and format JSON data.
You have to use the plugin manager of Notepad++ and search for the JSON plugin. There you can easily install it.
