JSON in Obsidian theme

Kale Janeth

I mostly use the Obsidian theme, and upon trying just JSON highlighting instead of JavaScript highlighting I found it wasn’t included in the theme.

In fact, it appears JSON rules are only defined in Default and DansLeRuSH-Dark in the version I’m using (7.8.7, I checked Obsidian in 7.8.9 and JSON is also missing).

Are there any plans to add (or even just copy-paste from DansLeRuSH-Dark) the JSON highlighting to Obsidian, or should I manually do it, or is the best option to just use JavaScript highlighting and ignore JSON altogether?

This is normally your best option for themes since they aren’t upgraded along with the default theme to include new languages or even new parsing / types for existing languages.

Lucky for you I use Obsidian as well and I have already updated most of the missing languages and styles. Note you may want to cut/paste from this one or keep your existing Obsidian.xml backed up as I have some global formatting changes to text and color as well under the last GlobalStyles section. Maybe a diff between mine and yours will help you “migrate”.

Good luck!

Cheers.
