Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing JSON opening support and how XmlNotepad serializes edited documents. Done means defining and implementing workable XML-to-JSON rules, including the handling of multiple roots, and saving the result as a JSON file.

Description
Feature request
I love that XmlNotepad can open json files, but it would be even more great if it could also save as json file.
I'm sure there are many differences between xml and json specs that makes it difficult. However, many json files are really simple and short and could be might not be too complicated to achieve. Especially with some predefined rules like root node = filename to accommodate multiple roots etc.
Advantage: many more XmlNotepad users. They would be very happy to have a single tool to manage tons of json files in addition to their existing xml files.
I have never found any similar excellent open-source tool to manage json files like XmlNotepad is doing for XML.
It would be fine it was a requirement to first open a json file, and then massaging XmlNotepad editor, and then saving it with whatever existing json stuff was in the original file.
