warning

Starting from ReSharper 2022.2, active development of productivity features for JavaScript, TypeScript, JSON, CSS, and Protobuf is suspended, and these features are disabled by default. To enable them, select the corresponding checkboxes on the Environment | Products & Features page of ReSharper options Alt+R, O: JavaScript and TypeScript, CSS Language, and Protobuf.

ReSharper options: Code Editing | JSON | Typing Assistance

On this page, you can disable JSON typing assistance features. You may need this if symbols like colon : and comma , are used in keys or values in your JSON documents.

Auto-fix colon to go outside quotes of JSON key

By default, ReSharper smartly completes your JSON keys when you type the colon : symbol. For example, as soon as you type colon here "someKey: ReSharper converts it to "someKey" : so that you could quickly start typing a value.

You may want to clear this checkbox if colon : is a part of the key name in your JSON.

Auto-fix comma to go outside quotes of JSON value

By default, ReSharper smartly completes your JSON values when you type the comma , symbol. For example, as soon as you type comma here "someValue," ReSharper converts it to "someValue", so that you could quickly start typing other values.

You may want to clear this checkbox if comma , is a part of a value name in your JSON.

note

Visual Studio provides similar feature, which you can disable in Tools | Options | Text Editor | JSON | Advanced options page.

note

ReSharper's settings are saved in settings layers, which allow you to have different settings for different solutions and to share your settings with your team.
