如何让Visual Studio 2013使用自定义JSON模式？

Question

I am working on a project that involves the use of JSON to store and retrieve data; in order to write some example data I am using VS2013's JSON editor, which supports, supposedly, the use of arbitrary JSON schema for its Intellisense code-completion feature. However, I have not been able to get it to recognise any schemata that are not accessed through a website, eg http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema works fine but /JSON/mySchema.json does not.

It will not load /JSON/mySchema.json from the $schema tag, nor will it allow me to type in its name; whenever I type it into the schema box and hit enter, it returns the schema box to "No Schema Selected".

How do I get VS2013 to recognise my custom schema and generate Intellisense completion from it?

Answer 1

I've learned (from comments on the announcement page for this functionality) that using relative paths for JSON schema is currently bugged in Visual Studio 2013 Update 3;

"[...] the relative $schema path is not working in a non-web project and will be fixed in Update 4."

(from a comment on this page )

It should work fine with an absolute path, but of course that's not portable. Update 4 should be out soon; the RC is already out, and information can be found here .
