JSON color scheme broken

[old9]

It used to show different colors for keys and values, and also different colors for each level of indentation in JSON files.

This is broken in the recent updates, every key and value are the same color no matter which color scheme I choose.

Rainbow colors by JSON object level with any color scheme

It recently occured that someone asked how to achieve rainbow-colored object keys in JSON files by level, so I am posting instructions here on how to achieve this with any color scheme. And also different variations. Instructions The following steps are needed for each variant, but the color scheme contents you want to use are different depending on which you choose. 7 levels are supported by default, with level 7+ being treated the same. It is easy to add more levels or loop them, however. …

Thanks for your suggestion, I did some investigation and found that the scope name’s been changed in recent releases, which is likely to be the reason for the problem.

Here is what a nested scope looks like now:

source.json meta.mapping.value.json meta.sequence.json meta.mapping.value.json meta.sequence.json meta.mapping.value.json meta.sequence.json meta.mapping.value.json meta.mapping.key.json string.quoted.double.json

and in my previously working themes, they are like this:

source.json meta.structure.dictionary.json meta.structure.dictionary.value.json meta.structure.dictionary.json meta.structure.dictionary.value.json meta.structure.dictionary.json meta.structure.dictionary.value.json meta.structure.array.json meta.structure.array.json meta.structure.array.json string.quoted.double.json

and this:

source.json meta meta meta meta.structure.dictionary.json string.quoted.double.json - meta meta meta meta.structure.dictionary.json meta.structure.dictionary.value.json string.quoted.double.json, source.json meta meta meta meta.structure.dictionary.json punctuation.definition.string - meta meta meta meta.structure.dictionary.json meta.structure.dictionary.value.json punctuation.definition.string

I made some modifications to the theme file and it’s working now:

meta.structure.dictionary.value.json —> meta.mapping.value.json
meta.structure.dictionary.json —> meta.mapping.key.json
meta.structure.array.json —> meta.sequence.json
