I occasionally want to pipe JSON (or XML, or other formats) like

csvjson file.csv | mate -

It does display the file but as plain text.

my hack would be

csvjson file.csv > /tmp/___q.json | mate -m untitled /tmp/___q.json && rm /tmp/___q.json

ergo write to a file with the desired extension first, then open it in TM as ‘untitled’ and finally remove the temporary file.

Option -t for mate doesn’t work either for me.

I think you need to specify the grammar name [1] after the option `-t`. At least the following command works on my machine:

echo '"Hello JSON"' | mate -t source.json

.

Kind regards, René
