Description

How can I have default (global) settings in JSON?
I don't think that it's good to use a bespoke lua implementation when all examples (and the official thing) is json.
I can have per-project json things using the .vscode/settings.json indeed but I'm not aware of how to do it globally.
At least it's not clear to me in the FAQ

Hey 👋

This is not natively supported by rustaceanvim, because the built-in Neovim LSP client takes a Lua table and I don't see a use case for reading from a global JSON config (if anything, that would be the responsibility of Neovim core).

If you prever a JSON file, you can always use :h vim.json.decode.

A clear use case is for people using both vscode and nvim and don't want to maintain different configs

That's pretty niche. And my point still stands that:

• Something like this would be the responsibility of Neovim core, not rustaceanvim.
• You can use :h vim.json.decode as a workaround in the meantime.
