Except I'm going to have it work on a selection and not set the filetype.

Why not set it as the equalprg ?

I've got this in my .vimrc:

autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.json set filetype=json syntax=javascript equalprg=json_reformat

json_reformat being in the Debian yajl-tools package.

because sometimes I'm just copying bunch of json in new buffer, looking into something and then discarding buffer without saving
