Don't use JSON schema when editing YAML file in Visual Studio Code

Question

By default my Visual Studio Code uses a JSON schema definition when editing YAMl files. How to turn this off and simply use YAML syntax highlighting without specific JSON schema? In the schema selector there is not "No schema".

• Visual Studio code 1.66.0

Answer 1

You can also define what schema to use with a comment at the top of the yaml file.

If you don't have a schema, you can use the yamllint schema, which doesn't expect any special content, but just warns you about possible general problems:

# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://json.schemastore.org/yamllint.json

your:
  normal: yaml goes here

Answer 2

I solved this when I disabled this option in VSCode settings.
