How to reformat JSON in Notepad++?

Question

I need Notepad++ to take a json string from this

{"menu": {"id": "file","value": "File","popup": {"menuitem": [{"value": "New", "onclick": "CreateNewDoc()"},{"value": "Open", "onclick": "OpenDoc()"},{"value": "Close", "onclick": "CloseDoc()"}]}}} 

to this...

{"menu": {   "id": "file",   "value": "File",   "popup": {     "menuitem": [       {"value": "New", "onclick": "CreateNewDoc()"},       {"value": "Open", "onclick": "OpenDoc()"},       {"value": "Close", "onclick": "CloseDoc()"}     ]   } }} 

I looked around at all the TextFX options but couldn't find anything that worked.

Update:

As of Notepad++ v7.6, use Plugin Admin to install JSTool per this answer

INSTALL

Download it from http://sourceforge.net/projects/jsminnpp/ and copy JSMinNpp.dll to plugin directory of Notepad++. Or you can just install "JSTool" from Plugin Manager in Notepad++.

New Notepad++ install and where did PluginManager go? See How to view Plugin Manager in Notepad++

{   "menu" : {     "id" : "file",     "value" : "File",     "popup" : {       "menuitem" : [{       "value" : "New",           "onclick" : "CreateNewDoc()"         }, {           "value" : "Open",           "onclick" : "OpenDoc()"         }, {           "value" : "Close",           "onclick" : "CloseDoc()"         }       ]     }   } } 

Tip: Select the code you want to reformat, then Plugins | JSTool | JSFormat.
