Supported Locale Formats

Format	Read	Write	Annotations	Note
JSON	✅	✅	✅
YAML	✅	✅	✅	Comments will NOT be preserved*
JSON5	✅	✅	❌	Comments will NOT be preserved*
INI	✅	✅	❌	Comments will NOT be preserved*
POT	✅	✅	❌
JavaScript	✅	❌	❌	Read-only
TypeScript	✅	❌	❌	Read-only
PHP	✅	❌	❌	Read-only

* Due to the limitation of yaml.dumps(#196) and JSON5.stringify(#177), comments in YAML and JSON5 will be OMITTED on any modification by this extension (editing, translating, etc). If you are using comments in your locale files, you can turn on read-only mode by i18n-ally.readonly to prevent losing comments.

By default, formats support will be automatically enabled by the activated frameworks(e.g Larval will enable php support).

To manually choose enabled formats:

// other formats will be disabled regardless the framework preference.
"i18n-ally.enabledParsers": ["js", "ts", "pot"]

💡 From v2.0, formats other than JSON, YAML and JSON5 would be disabled by default.
