Intl Path Search
A VSCode extension that lets you search JSON files using dot-path notation. Type a path like foo.bar.baz and it will find every JSON file in your workspace that contains that nested key structure, then jump straight to the matching line.
Built entirely by Claude (Anthropic).
Features
Dot-path search — foo.bar.baz finds files where that key path existsWildcard segments — foo.*.baz matches any intermediate keyArray index support — foo[0].bar or foo[*].barDedicated sidebar panel with its own activity bar iconSearch path — restrict the search to a specific workspace subfolder (e.g. src/locales), saved to workspace settingsFiles override — optionally override the default **/*.json glob patternClick to open — clicking a result opens the file and places the cursor on the exact matching line
Usage
Click the Intl Path Search icon in the activity bar
Optionally set a search path to narrow down which folder to search in (leave empty for the whole workspace)
Type a dot-path in the search input (e.g. common.buttons.submit)
Results appear grouped by file — click any result to open it at the right line
