Hey guys!

I'm currently developing a json editor. I want to highlight only the "Object" and "Array" types in it, i already done some lexical highlighting but i just cant figure out how to do the sematic highlighing. Here is my code.

xtext file
Editor:
	element = Object
; 

Object:
   '{' firstObjectItem+=mainObjectType (',' insideOfObjectItems+=mainObjectType)* 
	'}'
;

Array:
	'[' firstArrayItem += ObjectType (',' insideOfArrayItems+=ObjectType)*
	']'
;

mainObjectType:
	maintype = STRING ':'(insideOfObject = ObjectType)
;	

ObjectType:
	type = STRING | NUMBER | Object | Array |  Boolean | EmptyObject | EmptyArray | Null
;


and my editor highlight configuration
public class EditorHighLightingConfiguration extends DefaultHighlightingConfiguration{
	
	public static final String LAYOUT_ID = "layout";
	public static final String STRING_OVR_ID = "stringovrid";
	public static final String OBJECT_ID = "objectid";
	
	public void configure(IHighlightingConfigurationAcceptor acceptor) {
		super.configure(acceptor);
		
		acceptor.acceptDefaultHighlighting(LAYOUT_ID, "Layout",	layoutTextStyle());
		acceptor.acceptDefaultHighlighting(STRING_OVR_ID, "StringOVRID", stringTextStyle());
		acceptor.acceptDefaultHighlighting(OBJECT_ID, "ObjectID", objectTextStyle());
	}
	
	public TextStyle layoutTextStyle() {
		TextStyle textStyle = new TextStyle();
		textStyle.setColor(new RGB(255, 0, 0));
		textStyle.setStyle(SWT.BOLD);
		return textStyle;
	}
	
	public TextStyle stringTextStyle() {
		TextStyle textStyle = new TextStyle();
		textStyle.setColor(new RGB(0, 0, 128));
		textStyle.setStyle(SWT.NORMAL);
		return textStyle;
	}	
	
	public TextStyle objectTextStyle() {
		TextStyle textStyle = new TextStyle();
		textStyle.setColor(new RGB(0, 128, 0));
		textStyle.setStyle(SWT.BOLD);
		return textStyle;
	}	
}


I just can't find any good tutorial about how to work with this sematic stuff.
Hope you guys can help.

So far you have just registered the text sytles. In addition you have to
implement and bind an ISemanticHighlightingCalculator. This is really
documented in the help pages in detail. If you need an example, have a
look at the domainmodel example shipped with Xtext.
