This is an extension to validate Avro schema in .avsc files. It does schema highlighting using TextMate engine. It contains field snippets and auto formatting.
Features
Currently it does syntax highlighting.
It includes snippets for adding fields with types.
It does formatting.
Validation:
file is in JSON format
union default value is matching first type
attributes have correct types
attributes are not duplicated
types have all required attributes
logical types are matching type and have all attributes set correctly
names, namespaces and enum symbols are in correct format
Requirements
It requires VS Code in version at least 1.48.0
Extension Settings
This extension doesn't use settings.
Known Issues
Tolerance to invalid syntax is very low
Planned Features
Validate duplicated names for fields
Validate if enum symbols are unique
Validate text separators ("}", "]", ":", "," but syntax tree building is causing entire document to go read on missing closing bracket when attribute had value, that could be added)
Validating keys available in Avro (Based on documentation other keys are correct " Attributes not defined in this document are permitted as metadata, but must not affect the format of serialized data. ") Maybe configurable strict validation to only expect AVRO fields
