[Theme] More complete example of JSON file for syntax highlighting

Description

More complete example of JSON file for syntax highlighting

Use case/motivation

The example JSON file for syntax highlighting is the one provided by the json.org site.

This example only contains strings, object and array.

{
    "glossary": {
        "title": "example glossary",
        "GlossDiv": {
            "title": "S",
            "GlossList": {
                "GlossEntry": {
                    "ID": "SGML",
                    "SortAs": "SGML",
                    "GlossTerm": "Standard Generalized Markup Language",
                    "Acronym": "SGML",
                    "Abbrev": "ISO 8879:1986",
                    "GlossDef": {
                        "para": "A meta-markup language, used to create markup languages such as DocBook.",
                        "GlossSeeAlso": [
                            "GML",
                            "XML"
                        ]
                    },
                    "GlossSee": "markup"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

This is not enough to set syntax highlighting
Can you provide a more complete example like this:

{
    "object": {
        "array": [
            { "value": "first" },
            { "value": "second" }
        ],
        "bool_false": false,
        "bool_true": true,
        "char": "a",
        "encoding": "\uD83D\uDE10",
        'error': 'error',
        "exponential": 1E2,
        "exponent": 1e2,
        "float": 1.0,
        "integer": 1,
        "null": null,
        "regex": "/.HTML/",
        "string": "Lorem ipsum",
        "url": "http://example.com",
        "void": ""
    }
}

The syntax highlighting example is not intended to represent a real case, but only to help create themes. Real cases are never complete enough

Expected result:

I don't know if adding an error in the example is relevant 🤷‍♂️

Hey @noelma I really don't get what you are trying let us know. What is the problem and what are you requesting here?

[noelma]

Hello @Chris2011,

I tried to create a Netbeans theme for JSON format.

In Options > Fonts & Colors > Language, the example Json does not allow to do it correctly.

There is no example of boolean, integer, float, null, url...

[Chris2011]

Now I get it, thx. So yes we need to update the JSON Example with all available tokens that matches the categories. This is also a problem not just for JSON.

[Chris2011]

Just an info, if you want to help us or make a little christmas present to everyone we would be very happy if you help us to improve this :). I think this will be easy, just have a look here: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/blob/master/webcommon/javascript2.editor/src/org/netbeans/modules/javascript2/editor/resources/JsonExample.json. This is the example which is shown in the options. I really don't know whether it is enough to change the example but just give it a try.

Hello @Chris2011, thank you for your feedback.

When I created my theme, I struggled a lot with previews.
I plan to create a feature request for each language.

In the meantime, I will make a pull request for the JSON format 😉

@noelma Sounds nice :). Thx. Would you mind when I assign this to you?
