vscode-yaml-languageservice

YAML language service built on top of vscode-json-languageservice and intended for similar usage. It powers the YAML language extension for Visual Studio Code.

Why

To provide a YAML editor experience that has parity with the JSON.

• doValidation analyses an input string and returns syntax and lint errors.
• doHover provides hover text for a given location.
• findDocumentSymbols provides all symbols in the given document
• format formats the code.

The following functionality is incomplete:

• doComplete provides completion proposals for a given location.
• doResolve resolves a completion proposals.

vscode-json-languageservice type definitions

This depends on internals of vscode-json-languageservice where relevant type information is not currently published (see Microsoft/vscode-json-languageservice#11). To workaround this limitation, external type definitions are used. When newer type definitions are needed, manually compile vscode-json-languageservice locally and copy the resulting type definitions over the definitions in the types directory of this project.
