Description

When opening any json file the editor immediately requires me to open a schema. However I don't have a schema. So I cannot edit it at all with that editor.

My wish is an enhancement in this direction. I see two possibilities:

  1. Add full-blown schema editing (preferred)

  2. Use optionally a generator to create a schema from the loaded json file.

    -> There are several schema generators available like npm -> However you might need need to add a setting for the npm binary path

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement a schema editor UI or integrate a schema generator like generate schema to allow editing JSON files without an existing schema.
