Here are some Notepad++ plugins for JavaScript Developers that I found useful.
Tip:
You can install all the plugins using Notepad++ Plugins Manager located in the “Plugins” Menu.
-
JSLint
Description:
JSLint is a static code analysis tool used in software development for checking if JavaScript source code complies with coding rules.
Tip:
If jslint turns out to be strict for you, then I recommend that you try jshint.com.
Does it make any sense to use JSLint and follow it? -
JSMin
Description:
JSMin is a filter which removes comments and unnecessary whitespace from JavaScript files.
Tip:
The great thing about this plugin is that it formats and minimizes.
Link:
JavaScript Compressor and Comparison Utility. -

A JSON viewer plugin for Notepad++. Displays the selected JSON string in a tree view.
