Text Filter Plugin for SublimeText FilterPipes

This plugin contains a set of text filter commands for SublimeText maintained largely for my own personal use. This plugin relies on FilterPipes to do all its heavy lifting.

To use this plugin you must also install FilterPipes, either through PackageControl or by downloading it directly from github.com/tylerl/FilterPipes.

This plugin defines the following commands:

Pretty Print JSON
Parse a chunk of JSON and then dump it back out with formatting.
Delete Blank Lines
Yup. Deletes lines which are blank
Join lines as List
Creates a JSON-style list with one item per line. Saves you like 10 seconds.
Parse URL
Parses a URL using urllib and then dumps the result out as a python dict. Turns out to be surprisingly useful with long and complex URLs with a lot of query string parameters.
UnParse URL
Takes the result of the above command and puts it back into URL form. Turns Parse URL into a much more powerful editing tool rather than just a visualization tool.
Strip all spaces
Useful in rare occasions.
Pack DEFLATE and Unpack DEFLATE
Compress and then base-64 encode a block of content. This variant is compatible with certain other protocols such as the request encoding in SAML. The "Unpack" command reverse the process.
Pack GZip and Unpack GZip
Same as above but uses GZip semantics on the compression instead of raw DEFLATE. This is the result of what you'd get if you used command-line tools like cat file.txt | gzip | base64. If you want to pull a file into sublime and you you're worried about copy-paste munging something up, then run that command from the command line, paste the base64 content into sublime, and then use this command to unpack it.

Note that all the Pack and Unpack commands assume UTF-8 encoding. You can go mess around in filters.py to change that assumption if it matters to you.
