PROFILE

Matt Riggott

During February 2026, Matt Riggott enhanced the zed-industries/zed repository by implementing automatic syntax highlighting for GeoJSON files. He achieved this by recognizing 'geojson' as a valid path suffix, allowing these files to be parsed and highlighted using the existing JSON language support. This approach leveraged the current JSON syntax highlighter, minimizing maintenance overhead and risk while ensuring consistency across file types. Matt’s work focused on front end development and syntax highlighting, with changes documented through release notes and visual comparisons. The update improved the readability and workflow for geospatial data, streamlining code reviews and editor behavior for developers.
