AXAML Outline

Lightweight VS Code extension that provides Outline symbols for Avalonia AXAML files.

Features

• Outline tree for .axaml files
• Nested symbol structure based on AXAML element hierarchy
• Symbol labels prefer x:Name or Name when available
• Works with incomplete documents during editing (best-effort parsing)

How It Works

The extension registers a DocumentSymbolProvider for AXAML files and builds DocumentSymbol nodes from AXAML tags. These symbols are consumed by:

• Outline view
• Breadcrumbs
• Go to Symbol in Editor (@)

Requirements

• VS Code 1.85.0 or newer

Usage

1. Open any .axaml file.
2. Open the Outline view in the Explorer panel.
3. Navigate UI elements through the generated symbol tree.

Limitations

• Current implementation focuses on Outline symbols only.
• It does not provide full language features such as rename, references, or diagnostics.
