Support well known files

[ccoVeille]

You can have a look at the language GitHub support

https://github.com/github-linguist/linguist/blob/master/lib%2Flinguist%2Flanguages.yml

You can see in here there are many file with well known names that should/could be considered as .json, .toml by your tool

JSON: type: data color: "#292929" tm_scope: source.json ace_mode: json codemirror_mode: javascript codemirror_mime_type: application/json aliases: - geojson - jsonl - sarif - topojson extensions: - ".json" - ".4DForm" - ".4DProject" - ".avsc" - ".geojson" - ".gltf" - ".har" - ".ice" - ".JSON-tmLanguage" - ".jsonl" - ".mcmeta" - ".sarif" - ".tfstate" - ".tfstate.backup" - ".topojson" - ".webapp" - ".webmanifest" - ".yy" - ".yyp" filenames: - ".all-contributorsrc" - ".arcconfig" - ".auto-changelog" - ".c8rc" - ".htmlhintrc" - ".imgbotconfig" - ".nycrc" - ".tern-config" - ".tern-project" - ".watchmanconfig" - Pipfile.lock - composer.lock - deno.lock - flake.lock - mcmod.info language_id: 174 JSON with Comments: type: data color: "#292929" group: JSON tm_scope: source.js ace_mode: javascript codemirror_mode: javascript codemirror_mime_type: text/javascript aliases: - jsonc extensions: - ".jsonc" - ".code-snippets" - ".code-workspace" - ".sublime-build" - ".sublime-commands" - ".sublime-completions" - ".sublime-keymap" - ".sublime-macro" - ".sublime-menu" - ".sublime-mousemap" - ".sublime-project" - ".sublime-settings" - ".sublime-theme" - ".sublime-workspace" - ".sublime_metrics" - ".sublime_session" filenames: - ".babelrc" - ".devcontainer.json" - ".eslintrc.json" - ".jscsrc" - ".jshintrc" - ".jslintrc" - ".swcrc" - api-extractor.json - devcontainer.json - jsconfig.json - language-configuration.json - tsconfig.json - tslint.json language_id: 423 JSON5: type: data color: "#267CB9" extensions: - ".json5" tm_scope: source.js ace_mode: javascript codemirror_mode: javascript codemirror_mime_type: application/json language_id: 175

So these files and extensions could be added to your validator as a subset of json, json5 ...

I would say your code should support them

An invalid .jslintrc will cause problems.

I would say these files should be handled and validated by default, and could be disabled by configuration or command arguments
