🎄 Christmas Notice ☃️

This project started on 3 Dec 2016. Now 5 years later, it has become a native feature in VSCode.

This extension has seen wilder success then I could over ever dreamed of, with over 10M+ downloads.

I'm glad so many people found it useful, however it no longer has a purpose entering 2022 so development will no longer continue.

If you enjoyed it, a coffee donation is appreciated:

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!


How to enable native bracket matching:

Bracket Pair Colorizer 2

This extension allows matching brackets to be identified with colours. The user can define which tokens to match, and which colours to use.

F.A.Q.

  • Differences between v1 and v2?
    • v2 Uses the same bracket parsing engine as VSCode, greatly increasing speed and accuracy. A new version was released because settings were cleaned up, breaking backwards compatibility.
