  "enabled": true / false,
  "replacements": [
    {
      "languageIdentifiers": ["plaintext", "javascriptreact", ...],
      "rules": [
        {
          "search": "Search Text / JavaScript regex",
          "replace": "Replace Text"
        },
        {
          ...
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      ...
    }
  ]
}
