Temporary Fix for the Json files
Formatting - File unrecognized
When you open a json file and if tree-sitter doesn't recognize it as a json file, you can use the command :set filetype=json for neovim to start formatting it.
Conceal
The reason why you see the json commands in the config files without " " and when you move your cursor line to a line, and see " " appear, it is because you have your neovim opt.conceallevel set to 2 or 3 also it depends on cursorconceal settings. You may need that setting for some plugins such as indent or markdown. To fix the issue in json file, you should execute setlocal conceallevel=0 and it will fix it.
