YAML JSON Formatter

This VSCode extension enhances YAML file formatting by:

• Inheriting the default YAML formatter rules.
• Automatically formatting YAML values that are valid JSON strings.

Features

• Formats YAML using VSCode's default YAML formatter.
• Detects and reformats JSON strings in YAML to a pretty-printed JSON format.

Usage

1. Open a YAML file.
2. Use the Format Document command (Shift+Alt+F or right-click and select "Format Document").
3. JSON strings within the YAML will be reformatted automatically.

Example

Before formatting:

key: { "name": "John", "age": 30, "city": "New York" }

After formatting:

key:
  {
    "name": "John",
    "age": 30,
    "city": "New York"
  }
