IMO it's good to install JSON/XML syntaxes in IDE. many apps have res in such formats. Useful to edit files in IDE.

PS. I found that SynEdit is bad optimized for 4M length lines in XML files. editor shows freezes. ATSynEdit is better optimized for 4M len lines - now

Isn't it already there? I don't remember, though, but my Lazarus has them already.

But I don’t see that IDE supports file filters for xml/json/ini, and seems that these 3 syntaxes not activated for files on editor. Text not colored.

XML and INI are supported directly, JSON is supported by JScript highlighter:

When I open an XML or INI file, the correct highlighters are picked up. Not for JSON, though.

As for file filters - we offer *.* so you can open any file without problems - nothing needs to be done here.

 Thank you, now i understand.
Yes, xml/ini syntaxes work, only Im confused because ini default hiliting is all black (not nice colors for elements in def config).

Feel free to improve it. You can also send a patch so that JSON files are recognized to use the JScript parser. I promise I'll look at them :)
