It runs as a separate executable and implements the language server protocol to be connected by any code editor or IDE. The server implements the following capabilities of the language server protocol: * Code completion for JSON properties and values based on the document's JSON schema or based on existing properties and values used at other places in the document. JSON schemas are configured through the server configuration options. * Hover for values based on descriptions in the document's JSON schema. * Document Symbols for quick navigation to properties in the document. * Document Colors for showing color decorators on values representing colors and Color Presentation for color presentation information to support color pickers. The location of colors is defined by the document's JSON schema. All values marked with "format": "color-hex" (VSCode specific, non-standard JSON Schema extension) are considered color values. The supported color formats are #rgb[a] and #rrggbb[aa]. * Code Formatting supporting ranges and formatting the whole document. * Folding Ranges for all folding ranges in the document. * Semantic Selection for semantic selection for one or multiple cursor positions. * Goto Definition for $ref references in JSON schemas * Diagnostics (Validation) are pushed for all open documents + syntax errors + structural validation based on the document's JSON schema. ### Package name * vscode-json-languageserver --- ### License * unset --- ### Last updated * 30 March 2026 - latest/stable * 21 July 2026 - latest/edge --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/vscode-json-languageserver/opensuse#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on openSUSE and install vscode-json-languageserver Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed. You need first add the *snappy* repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor. Tumbleweed: ``` sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy ``` Leap 15.x: ``` sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy ``` If needed, Swap out `openSUSE_Leap_15.` for, `openSUSE_Leap_16.0` if you’re using a different version of openSUSE. With the repository added, import its GPG key: ``` sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh ``` Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new *snappy* repository: ``` sudo zypper dup --from snappy ``` Snap can now be installed with the following: ``` sudo zypper install snapd ``` You then need to either reboot, logout/login or `source /etc/profile` to have /snap/bin added to PATH. Additionally, enable and start both the *snapd* and the *snapd.apparmor* services with the following commands: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor ``` ### Install vscode-json-languageserver To install vscode-json-languageserver, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install vscode-json-languageserver ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
