如何让Visual Studio获取高亮.json源代码？

Question

How can I get VS to source highlight .json source code? I'd also like to have it have some of the same key-bindings that normal JavaScript enjoys. In a way all I'd really need/want is a way to have Visual Studio recognize a .json file as a .js file (I think). Is this possible?

Answer 1

Try to use Visual Studio Extension TextHighlighter:

VS 2010: TextHighlighterExtension
VS 2012: TextHighlighterExtension12

Answer 2

Great news!

In CTP2 of Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 that was added a New JSON project item and editor

Answer 3

Navigate starting at the top menu bar,

TOOLS --> Options --> Text Editor --> File Extensions

Here you can add json as an entry, however, the Script Editor will not work at all, you can use Visual C++ editor experience which will provide very basic highlighting until Microsoft can get with the program and add some basic JSON support.

Answer 4

The problem is that a json file isn't valid javascript. (A file containing just a javascript literals without an assignment is invalid.) So while it will highlight, Visual Studio will be convinced your file's wrong, and (personally) I find that more annoying than the lack of highlighting.

There is this project: http://jsonviewer.codeplex.com/ but that seems old and not currently maintained. (Also it seems like it's just a visualizer, not a syntax highlighting plugin.)

I'm currently look for a good plugin for this, or possibly writing one.

Into the menus Tools .. Options .. Text Editor .. File Extensions

Add the JSON extension and choose to use the Script Editor
