Do you have any specific tool in mind that outputs the same json format? Sounds like something that can be supported.
One that I am writing now :) I like that you are integrated in VS code and you show hit count information. Visual Studio's coverage viewer doesn't show hit counts in source code, for example.
In that case it would be best if you can create a patch for this extension because you are in the best position to test it.
Today you require gcov binary files to be produced and call "gcov --json-format" to get the code coverage data. The binary data format for gcov is private AFAIK and only produced by gcc.
Would you consider offering option to open a json file as well (following same format that --json-format provides)? This would enable your code coverage viewer to be more interoperable with other tools.
