Jolt README

Welcome to the Jolt language extension! At the moment, this provides syntax coloring for your Jolt transformers when using the *.jolt.json file extension to make reading and managing your transforms a bit easier. The Jolt language interpreter is written in C# and published to NuGet. Please see the project's GitHub repository for further information and complete documentation.

Disambiguation

This is not related to the much older and unrelated Java-based JSON transformation library, by coincidence also called Jolt.

Features

Right now, this language extension solely provides syntax coloring for your Jolt transformers. For example:

Match Expression

Foreach Loop Expression

As a heads up, additional work on the roadmap for this extension intends to offer further functionality such as code completion and transformer validation, among other features.

Requirements

There are no additional requirements or dependencies at the moment aside from naming your transformer files appropriately, using a supported theme, and using Jolt!

Extension Settings

This extension offers default colorization settings via the editor.tokenColorCustomizations setting. This supports the following themes:

  • Dark Mode (via Default Dark Modern, Default Dark+, or Visual Studio Dark)
  • Light Mode (via Default Light Modern, Default Light+, or Visual Studio Light)

Release Notes
