JSON Schema and updates

The extension is powered by a dynamically generated JSON schema:

https://github.com/nooreldeensalah/snapcraft-intellisense/blob/main/schemas/snapcraft.json

The schema is generated by parsing the official Snapcraft documentation and the Snapcraft codebase, then kept in sync through CI workflows and automated releases.

You can also use this schema directly to override or pin Snapcraft validation in your editor.
