Well just commenting here to say thanks, that works great. To repeat your blog post here which might help others:

#!/bin/sh

python -m json.tool

Put the above in a file, perhaps, jsonify.sh
Place jsonify.sh (or a link to this script) in the ~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Text Filters directory, restart BBEdit.

To use:
Select unformatted JSON, choose jsonify under Text>Apply Text Filters>jsonify . The text will be transformed to pretty printed JSON in place of the unformatted.

So helpful. Thank you!

This is excellent! Update the script if you're using zsh:

#!/bin/zsh

python -m json.tool

Now the path has changed, it's ~/Library/Containers/com.barebones.bbedit/Data/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Text Filters/
