You can view in Notepad++ no problem now (maybe older versions were bugged?)

for win64: You can find the latest plugin here: https://github.com/kapilratnani/JSON-Viewer/releases . The latest zip file contains a .dll file.

And then follow the github priject README instructions:

1. Paste the file "NPPJSONViewer.dll" to Notepad++ plugin folder
2. open a document containing a JSON string
3. Select JSON fragment and navigate to plugins/JSON Viewer/show JSON Viewer or press "Ctrl+Alt+Shift+J"
4. Voila!! if the JSON is valid, it will be shown in a Treeview

It should be the same process for win32 but I cannot personally verify it.
