YAML for Visual Studio Code

Features

• JSON Schema validation
• Quick Navigation (Ctrl + Shift + O)
• Document formatting
• Hover data descriptions (when provided by active schemas)

How to associate schemas

Schemas are handled exactly same way they are with JSON in Visual Studio Code and your schema file must still be written in JSON. This means you can:

• Declare in the current file by specify a $schema element.
• Map files by settings using the json.schemas settings key in User Settings, Workspace Settings, or even define your schema within Settings.
• Define in extensions using the jsonValidation contribution point.

Known Issues

• No support has been implemented for include references. (relevant code)
• Formatter strips comments and --- yaml marker. see issues/#9
• Formatter renames anchors/references in the style &ref12/*ref12
