Editor as view on data of a file Follow
Answered
I would like to write a plugin for an editor that allows a view on the data of a file. I.e. the data should not be displayed as they are stored in the file, but there should be a view that abstracts the data and displays it differently. The content should not be changed. So far I have not found a way to implement this. How can this be done?
Thanks

Try implementing com.intellij.fileEditorProvider extension point.
See its JavaDocs and https://plugins.jetbrains.com/intellij-platform-explorer?extensions=com.intellij.fileEditorProvider for more details.
