Extract JSONPath language into own language extension?

[mbehr1]

Hello,

I use jsonpath in my vscode extensions as well (https://github.com/mbehr1/dlt-logs and https://github.com/mbehr1/fishbone).

It would be nice if you/we could extract the JSONPath language support into a standalone extension so that we can simply include it.

(I'm currently adding a very basic support copy+pasted from your language config/grammar to my notebook support, see here mbehr1/fishbone#34 )

Hi @mbehr1.
It definitely makes a lot of sense to create a standalone language extension that other extensions can depend on.

However, my implementation only includes basic syntax highlighting at the moment. The language extension should ideally also support auto completion and error checking. This would require the creation of a Language Server. A basic language server could probably be implemented fairly easily but adding extensive language feature support is probably a bigger task.

I don't have too much time to work on that project at the moment but maybe we could share the effort somehow?
