Visual Studio Code's New 'Custom Editor API'
An interesting new API in Visual Studio Code that allows replacing the entire text editing engine. They included a list of use cases:
- Previewing assets, such as shaders or 3D models, directly in VS Code.
- Creating WYSIWYG editors for languages such as Markdown or XAML.
- Offering alternative visual renderings for data files such as CSV or JSON or XML.
- Building fully customizable editing experiences text files.
It will be fascinating to see how far the text-editor-as-platform gets pushed.
