Works fine in
vimExcept if it's a single line file, only god can help you then. (Or running
prettier -won it before opening it or whatever.)cat file.json | jqalso workshttps://porkmail.org/era/unix/award#cat
jq < file.jsoncatis for concatenating multiple files, not redirecting single files.Render Media works the best
rm file.jsonYes, 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
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.
Yeah, very well may be. LSPs always slow down opening big files, so I usually inspect those with an empty/different config
Technically every JSON file is a single line, with line break characters here and there
:syntax offand it works just fine.
