VS Code extension providing full language support for KIP (Knowledge Interaction Protocol) .kip files.
Features
Syntax Highlighting
TextMate grammar with scopes for:
- Keywords (
FIND, UPSERT, WHERE, CONCEPT, PROPOSITION, …)
- Compound keywords (
SET ATTRIBUTES, ORDER BY, WITH METADATA, …)
- Variables (
?drug), parameters (:limit), system identifiers ($ConceptType)
- Strings, numbers, booleans,
null
- Built-in functions (
COUNT, FILTER, CONTAINS, REGEX, …)
- Operators (
==, !=, &&, ||, <, >, …)
- Comments (
