Usage Notes:

Enhanced color coding can be toggled in extension settings
Colors are optimized for dark theme readability and distinctiveness
Special string types (URL, email, date, UUID) are automatically detected
Number subtypes (integer, float, scientific) are automatically classified
Boolean colors use high-contrast neon colors (green for true, red for false)
Keys (light blue), float values (light green), and object brackets (neon bright green) are highly distinct
Use dedicated Recursive Collapse/Expand button in toolbar for showing keys only
