JSON is fast becoming a viable alternative to XML.. Therefore PowerShell ISE should support syntax coloring in a similar manner as it treats XML files
Product Studio item created by Connect Synchronizer due to creation of feedback ID 1159120 (http://connect.microsoft.com/PowerShell/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=1159120).
Repro Steps:
open a json file in powershell all the text is black
Expected Results:
.Json should be added to the list of supported files types from the file open menu and basic syntax highlighting within the editor should be implemented.

Hi Jason,
We definitely consider this hugely valuable, but it is a big work item, and we’re not sure where it sits in our current roadmap.
We’ll post back here as more details become available.
Thanks,
Joey
