We just released :vshaxe: 2.21.0, which adds code completion and hover support to HXML files. Editing HXML files no longer feels like working with plaintext! Here’s a feature overview:

### Compiler Argument Completion

You will have to run `haxe --help` a lot less often now:

### Compiler Define Completion

You will also have to run `haxe --help-defines` a lot less often!

For some defines, there’s known values:

### File System Completion

(enabled for any compiler argument that wants a file path)

### Library Name Completion

Listing all libraries available in the project:

(with the lix vscode extension installed, this properly respects the project’s `haxe_libraries`)

### Hover Hints

There’s also a new feature unrelated to HXML: array / map / regex literal code generation:

The compiler define completion is especially great, no more typos and wondering why it doesn’t work, awesome 🎉

I think adding `../` to the folder list would make this feature more complete.
