How to fold text in a JSON file?

Question

I have a large JSON file. It is not easy to work on all file at a time. I want to fold some content so that I can work on a section of JSON file.

E.g.:

{
  obj: {+}, // folded section
  obj:{
        // unfolded section
     }
}

Is it possible to fold JSON structure in Vim?

Answer 1

Yes, it is possible. A minimal setup would be:

:set filetype=json
:syntax on
:set foldmethod=syntax
