Extract text from CODE-WORKSPACE files
To convert your CODE-WORKSPACE file to another format, you need Visual Studio Code or other Developer software.
To convert other file formats to the "IDE Settings" file type, you need software like Visual Studio Code or a similar tool.
A .code-workspace file is a configuration file used by Visual Studio Code (VS Code) to define a multi-root workspace. It is essentially a JSON text file that lists the paths of folders included in the workspace, along with specific settings, launch configurations, and extension recommendations for that environment.
While convenient for developers, the format relies on a specific flavor of JSON known as "JSON with Comments" (JSONC). This creates friction when trying to parse the file with standard data tools or CI/CD scripts, which will reject the file due to the presence of comments. Furthermore, the format is specific to the VS Code ecosystem; sharing it with a developer using IntelliJ IDEA or Sublime Text provides them with no executable logic.
To overcome these limitations, users often convert these files to standard JSON (stripping out comments for machine readability) or TXT to view folder paths on devices without an IDE installed. For archiving project structures or onboarding documentation, converting to PDF ensures the configuration is readable by anyone.
Convert.Guru analyzes your CODE-WORKSPACE file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted HTML, HTM and CSS files.
If you want to convert CODE-WORKSPACE file to JS, TS, PY, JAVA, CPP, C, CS, PHP, RB, GO, RS or SWIFT, you can use Visual Studio Code or similar software from the "IDE Workspace Configuration" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert SH, PY, KT, PS1, SWIFT, LUA, PL, JAVA, SCALA, JS, VBS or TS files to CODE-WORKSPACE, try Visual Studio Code or another comparable tool in the "IDE Workspace Configuration" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our CODE-WORKSPACE converter.
