[feature/idea] VS Code extension

[texastoland]

Your extension would be exponentially better than anything available for VS Code. I'm willing to help!

@texastoland Could you please tell us more about your idea? You mean custom JSON viewer integrated in VS Code, like JsonDiscovery in a browser?

[texastoland]

Yeah! Similar to this Chrome extension:

• the website embedded in a webview
• styled using CSS properties for theme support
  
• implemented as a custom editor to react to document changes
• or even supporting light editing in the distant future

The idea is inspired by:

• JSON Editor
  • based on https://jsoneditoronline.org
  • less functional for viewing
  • less pretty
  • broken with dark themes
  • abandoned
• Edit CSV (like JSON Editor but CSV, etc.)
• Excel Viewer (like Edit CSV but specialized for viewing only)

Additionally it'd bring more users to Jora (I still hit discoveryjs/jora#27 often) and the rest of the brilliant Discovery toolchain 🦄

Hey, @texastoland! Thanks so much for this idea and the detailed description of what you would like to see! In fact, we have already discussed the possibility of integration into VS Code. But it's quite a big task and it takes a lot of effort and time to make it happen. As soon as I'm sorted out with current work, I'll try to start this project. Also, any help would be appreciated!

I'll let you know if I attempt it first!

I found this: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=obenjiro.vscode-jora-playground

And it already replaced my old friend jq playground extension(which the jora version fork from).
