I have tried to not look at code for a few days. However, I can’t escape JSON.
This reminds of how much JSON I have seen in my short career.
JSON is both easy and hard to deal with. JSON both requires less and more of code to deal with.
I wonder if it is time to move JSON from the “application layer” into the “database layer”. However, besides just being faster at processing JSON, the “database layer” needs to be more usable.
To be more usable than a programming language means that the “database layer” may need to interface with the text editor AND the browser.
Building a Chrome extension is easy. I wonder whether building a VSCode extension is just as easy. If both are easy, then there is a chance you can get things to work.
When I get back from visiting family, experimenting with VSCode will be a first project of mine.
