json_stringify VS Ciphey

Something I run into a lot is a JSON-like blob of text I'd like to be formatted as JSON (new lines and indentation). Most JSON formatters choke on improper JSON (understandably). It would be great to have a tool that was more lax. Like browser support for terrible HTML lax haha. If I could paste JSON-like strings into a text area and have it fix and format it as best as can be, that would be great. Some examples of non-JSON syntax to handle would be like single quotes instead of double, arbitrary JSON nodes (not necessarily wrapped in `{}`), some pre or post text (some non-JSON text at the beginning or end), comments amongst the JSON, etc. Another JSON aspect that would be useful is something to escape/unescape JSON (specifically double quotes). I deal a lot with JSON that includes escaped JSON in values and it would be great to have some better way to visualize and process those blobs. Sublime Text has a nice plugin to handle some of the escaping/unescaping[1].

I also discovered Ciphey. Neat little tool indeed, but it's being deprecated. It's mentioned in this issue[1] and being replaced with Ares[2]. Neither could decipher this strange encryption[3] I used it on :(

Check Ciphey, I have used several times before and overall it’s great. https://github.com/Ciphey/Ciphey

It can help you detect various encryption and encodings and even decrypt them. Ciphey

I followed the steps here . I am running Python 3.10 (64). When I try to install Ciphey using the instructions, on my cmd prompt I get the following:

if you're looking for something that would decrypt most well-known encodings/ciphers, there's ciphey. but no such thing exists to decrypt every known file type because, if it did, everyone would be using it.
