Xavier Coulon commented on JBDS-3267:
-------------------------------------

[~maxandersen], [~adietish], [~burrsutter],

A prototype based on Xtext is available at https://github.com/xcoulon/jbosstools-json

The code still needs a bit of love, though: 
- syntax coloring does not work as expected
- outline view could be more compact (too many nodes are displayed, including nodes with an "<unnamed>" label...)

Then, we should see if the generated code allows for custom extension, such as content assist, hyperlink navigation, etc. for specific files.

If we agree to include this code, we'll have to update the TP to include Xtext runtime.

> As a Java or Java EE developer, who wishes to test my JAX-RS endpoints as well as edit various JSON files, I need an editor that formats the nested curly braces, helps me to insure that I am not missing (nor have extra) curly braces, missing quotes, helps me to know when to use square brackets, etc.  Ideally, the Eclipse Outline view would also work if I am editing a .json file.  
> Ideally, we would support both a full JSON editor as well as working within the Web Services Tester.
