How to indent JSON data inside of TextMate, Emacs, BBEdit, or Sublime Text 2?

Question

[Update: 8 hours after this question was posted, the author of JSON bundle was notified of the issue and he fixed it.]

I have the following JSON data in a file application.json, shown at the end of this post, and I have used TextMate with the JSON bundle, Emacs, BBEdit, and Sublime Text 2 to properly indent it, but all seemed like they couldn't.

Both TextMate and Sublime Text 2 insisted that the first { should not be indented, and the first major issue was for the closing brace for "child": {. Both TextMate and Sublime Text 2 refused to align the } under the left side of "child": {. Emacs kept on indenting further and further for each line, and BBEdit didn't seem to have an re-indent function at all (could this be?).

Is there a way to properly indent the file, or are TextMate and Sublime Text 2 both doing the right thing for the JSON data?

I found a solution for BBEdit that is easy and works well.

Put the following script in
~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Text Filters/FormatJSON.sh

#!/bin/bash
python -m json.tool

1. Open a JSON file in BBEdit. There is no need to restart BBEdit because BBEdit rocks!
2. Select Text > Apply Text Filter > FormatJSON

I tested this with a JSON file that had 3,612,683 characters on a single line. BBEdit opened this file and reformatted without showing a SPOD.
