Webstorm has an option for this and it makes things like dense enclosures or JSON actually parsable.


Which feature is that? I've been using WebStorm for some time and wishing for a feature that would highlight all matching parenthesis (), [] and {}.


- plugin: rainbow brackets

- preference: semantic highlighting


Thanks. I tried it but it did not quite do what I needed so I uninstalled it. (I'm afraid of plugins in general taking performace away). It worked on JS-files but I have HTML-documents containing (example) JavaScript etc. code. Seems it did not react to parenthesis in them. Also even in plain JS-files you may have strings containing parenthesis.

Standard WebStorm already highlights matching parenthesis in JavaScript and does a good job at that.


I don't use rainbow brackets, but I do use semantic highlighting. It's worth seeing if semantic highlighting would still be useful to you. It greatly helps scanning speed.
