JSON Hover Extension for VSCode

This is a Visual Studio Code extension that allows you to view and copy parsed JSON from string literals in your Go code. When hovering over a string literal, it will attempt to parse it as JSON and display it in a formatted manner. A "Copy" link will also be provided to easily copy the JSON content to your clipboard.

• Hover over Go string literals containing JSON data to see a parsed, formatted version of the JSON.
• Click the "Copy" link to copy the JSON value to your clipboard.
