Description
PRD: https://docs.google.com/document/d/17eGEeAA_wPaiUO7xfJ2cTotXweygoJFcpVB5JEC4Yes/edit?ts=602db429
cblite tool is growing in popularity as the go-to tool for local database inspection. Especially since users can't use off-the-shelf database SQL viewers as the data is stored in Fleece .
The proposal is to develop a VSCode Extension for inspecting CBlite databases. It does not have a pretty UI but offers a convenient way to explore databases and even create cblite2 database that can be used as prebuilt database
VSCode is growing in popularity with developers. Its free and supported on all major platforms
The VSCode Extensions Market would be a perfect distribution channel and will also help with awareness and adoption of CBL in general (available under sqlite category perhaps)
See attached recordings of experience with VSCode SQLite Explorere extensions. Would be sufficient to have an experience equivalent to this

Future : Support a driver potentially for VSCode SQLTools extension
