dtab for VS Code

Syntax highlighting and a Δ file icon for .dtab files.

dtab (Delta Tab) is a config format made of tab-separated paths: one line is one path into a tree, and later lines are deltas on top of earlier ones. Format, parsers and a live demo: https://github.com/RyannDaGreat/dtab

Object keys, leaf keys, values, comments (entries starting with a space) and invalid keys each get their own scope, so any color theme applies. The Tab key inserts a tab.

To see the tabs that carry the structure without dotting every space inside a value, set "editor.renderWhitespace": "boundary" (it draws tabs and runs of spaces, not single spaces). VS Code's normal Toggle Render Whitespace command works as usual.
