The BEVE extension allows you to easily view and edit .beve files by converting them to JSON format. It also allows you to save data in JSON format by converting it back to .beve format. All conversions use the official Rust beve crate.
Features
Automatic JSON preview when opening .beve files.
Bi-directional conversion commands for .beve ⇄ .json.
Context menu actions in the editor and Explorer for quick conversions.
Command Palette entries (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P) for all conversion actions.
WebAssembly-powered conversions for reliable numeric, string, matrix, and typed-array support.
Built-in localization (English by default, with Turkish available and room for more locales).
Requirements
Visual Studio Code 1.90 or newer
Usage
Automatic preview: Open a .beve file to view its JSON representation instantly.
BEVE → JSON: Right-click a .beve file and choose “Convert BEVE to JSON”, or run the BEVE: Convert BEVE to JSON command from the Command Palette.
JSON → BEVE: Right-click a .json file and choose “Convert JSON to BEVE”, or run the BEVE: Convert JSON to BEVE command.
In-place editing: Edit the JSON output; saving the preview will persist changes back to the .beve source when you trigger the conversion command.
Localization
Localization automatically follows your VS Code display language. English (en) is the default, with Turkish (tr) translations available today. To try another language, change the Display Language in VS Code (Preferences: Configure Display Language), and the extension will fall back to English when a translation is not yet provided. Contributions for additional languages are welcome.
Development
npm install
npm test
The test suite builds the Rust WebAssembly package, compiles the TypeScript sources, and exercises the extension commands end to end.
Caveats
Very large .beve files may take a while to convert.
