Hello,
A few years ago, either I or a colleague made a post about this topic, but I can no longer find it. I wanted to circle back to this topic and see if there have been any updates
I frequently work with multipart/form-data POST requests that include both JSON payload and file uploads. While Postman does an excellent job with syntax highlighting for raw JSON, I’ve noticed that JSON content within a form-data part in multipart/form-data requests doesn’t benefit from syntax highlighting or validation. This makes it harder to work with complex JSON payloads in such requests.
I’d like to point out that tools like Insomnia currently offer JSON syntax highlighting within multipart/form-data requests, which significantly improves the user experience when dealing with these types of payloads.
Are there any plans to introduce JSON syntax highlighting or validation for JSON content in multipart/form-data parts in Postman? Adding this feature would bring Postman closer to feature parity with Insomnia for this specific functionality and greatly enhance usability for developers working with mixed content types.
Looking forward to hearing from the team or the community on whether this is on the roadmap.
(For context, I understand that in my specific case, the payload happens to be JSON, but this request could apply to any structured data type that benefits from syntax highlighting.)
Thank you!
