There's an online tool which I used for this, but copying/pasting all the time got frustrating pretty quickly, This is why I created this package which you can launch right from Python or from the command line. When working with JSON data, You often need to get a structured view of the JSON in order to be able to work with it. If you want your descriptions to support formatting like links, you can opt in by using Markdown in your formatting with the markdownDescription property.Quickly View and Edit any JSON data.

VS Code will use the standard description field from the JSON Schema specification in order to provide information about properties on hover and during autocomplete. Note that defaultSnippets is not part of the JSON schema specification but a VS Code-specific schema extension. You can use this to specify snippets for numbers and booleans. If a string starts with ^, the string content will be inserted as-is, not stringified. Snippet syntax can be used inside strings literals to define tabstops, placeholders, and variables. body is the JSON object that is stringified and inserted when the completion is selected by the user.If no label is provided, a stringified object representation of the snippet will be shown as label instead. label and description will be shown in the completion selection dialog.Use the property defaultSnippets to specify any number of snippets for the given JSON object. In the following example, the JSON file specifies that its contents follow the CoffeeLint schema. That's why VS Code already knows about the schema of some well-known JSON files such as package.json, bower.json, and tsconfig.json. VS Code extensions can also define schemas and schema mapping. The association of a JSON file to a schema can be done either in the JSON file itself using the $schema attribute, or in the User or Workspace settings ( File > Preferences > Settings) under the property json.schemas. However, schemas can also be defined in a file in the VS Code workspace, as well as the VS Code settings files. Servers like JSON Schema Store provide schemas for most of the common JSON-based configuration files. The JSON support shipped with VS Code supports all draft versions from Draft 4 to JSON Schema Draft 2020-12. JSON schemas describe the shape of the JSON file, as well as value sets, default values, and descriptions. To understand the structure of JSON files, we use JSON schemas. You can also directly modify the files.associations setting to associate file names or file name patterns to jsonc. Select the mode indicator to change the mode and to configure how file extensions are associated to modes. The current editor mode is indicated in the editor's Status Bar. When in the JSON with Comments mode, you can use single line ( //) as well as block comments ( /* */) as used in JavaScript. This mode is used for the VS Code configuration files such as settings.json, tasks.json, or launch.json. In addition to the default JSON mode following the JSON specification, VS Code also has a JSON with Comments (jsonc) mode. Folding regions are available for all object and array elements. You can fold regions of source code using the folding icons on the gutter between line numbers and line start. You can format your JSON document using ⇧⌥F (Windows Shift+Alt+F, Linux Ctrl+Shift+I) or Format Document from the context menu. When you hover over properties and values for JSON data with or without schema, we will provide additional context. JSON files can get large and we support quick navigation to properties using the Go to Symbol command ( ⇧⌘O (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Shift+O)). We also offer IntelliSense for specific value sets such as package and project dependencies in package.json, project.json, and bower.json.

We also perform structural and value verification based on an associated JSON schema giving you red squiggles.

You can also manually see suggestions with the Trigger Suggestions command ( ⌃Space (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Space)). json, VS Code provides features to make it simpler to write or modify the file's content.įor properties and values, both for JSON data with or without a schema, we offer up suggestions as you type with IntelliSense. We also use it extensively in Visual Studio Code for our configuration files. JSON is a data format that is common in configuration files like package.json or project.json.
