Developers lose flow formatting JSON in logs and documents
Developers who inspect JSON in terminal output want to format it where it appears, especially when it is part of command logs or line-delimited output. Copying snippets into a separate prettifier interrupts the workflow; formatting JSON inside Markdown can require moving it to another document and back. Requests for automatic detection and local customization suggest that existing formatters do not always fit the context where developers encounter JSON.
For developers who regularly inspect JSON in terminals and code editors. Mentioned from Aug 2021 to Nov 2024 on GitHub.

It's painful to always have to copy a line of JSON output and paste it into a prettifier each time, I'd much prefer if this could be done inline
any updates on this? kind of a blocker for someone who works with JSON on a daily
