Motivation: Needed something robust for storing quick data and parsing that was faster programatically with added features like JS support (unlike JSON).

• The problem with JSON was that before writing in large files we had to parse and then stringify
• With this file format, we removed the outer brackets of an array and we can append objects/strings/booleans/numbers to the file followed by a comma without having to read the file
• Parsing it is as simple as prepending an array decleration and appending array closing.

• New file extension .ar and .array
• Supports comments, JS primitive data types, objects without quotes in prop names
• Has syntax highlighting
• Comes with a formatter

This extension contributes the following settings:

• arrayFile.formatOnSave: Enable/disable formatting of .ar files on Save.

• Template string interpolation does not highlight ${} brackets, but works with inside it
• There are no customization settings for prettier at this time

Initial release of ar-file-format-support.

• Custom syntax highlighting for contents treated as JavaScript arrays.
• Formatting ar files
