Inline Validation & Instant Formatting
Stop guessing syntax errors and wrestling with malformed payloads. Our extension brings enterprise-grade JSON handling directly to your cursor.
The red squiggles you see under the `metadata` key indicate a missing required field defined in your attached JSON Schema. Press Shift+Alt+F to trigger the formatter, which instantly aligns indentation, removes trailing commas, and reorders object keys alphabetically according to your workspace settings. All operations run locally via our optimized C++ backend, ensuring zero latency even on 500KB configuration files.
