Question 1

What is an extensions.json file in VSCode?

Accepted Answer

An `extensions.json` file, typically located in the `.vscode` folder of a project, allows you to define a list of recommended Visual Studio Code extensions for that project. When a user opens the project, VSCode can prompt them to install these recommended extensions, helping to ensure a consistent development environment for team members.

Question 2

How do I use this extensions.json viewer?

Accepted Answer

Click the "Open Local File" button to select an `extensions.json` file from your device. Its content will be displayed with JSON syntax highlighting. Since it's a JSON file, our dedicated JSON Viewer (link to /viewer/json) is also suitable.
