FAQ
How do I download JSON Tools for Notepad++ 64-bit?
Use Plugins > Plugins Admin to install it automatically, or download the plugin’s x64 release package from its official release page and install manually.
Where do I put JSONTools.dll for a manual install?
Place it in its own folder under Notepad++: <Notepad++>\plugins\JSONTools\JSONTools.dll (folder name and DLL name must match the plugin build you downloaded).
Why isn’t JSON Tools showing up in Notepad++ after install?
Most often it’s the wrong architecture (x86 plugin in x64 Notepad++), the DLL is in the wrong folder, or Notepad++ wasn’t restarted after installation.
Do I need admin rights to install the plugin on Windows?
If Notepad++ is installed under Program Files, Windows may block file copying without admin permissions; Plugins Admin usually handles this more cleanly.
Where is the JSON Tools plugin config stored?
For installed Notepad++, it’s typically under %AppData%\Notepad++\plugins\config\; for portable installs, it’s commonly <Notepad++ folder>\plugins\config\.
Is JSON Tools included by default in Notepad++?
No—JSON Tools is a plugin. You install it through Plugins Admin or by manually copying the correct build into the plugins folder.
What should I do if Plugins Admin doesn’t list JSON Tools?
Update Notepad++ and try again; if it still doesn’t appear, install manually using the official release package that matches your Notepad++ architecture.
