JSON full attributes path

The name of the parser: json

The command line you used to run ctags:

$ ctags --options=NONE file.json

The content of input file:

{
  "welcome": {
    "x": {
      "c": "hello {{.Name}}"
    }
  }
}

The tags output you are not satisfied with:

...
!_TAG_PROGRAM_URL       https://ctags.io/       /official site/
!_TAG_PROGRAM_VERSION   6.1.0   /v6.1.0/
c       i18n/en.json    /^      "c": "hello {{.Name}}"$/;"      s       object:welcome.x
welcome i18n/en.json    /^  "welcome": {$/;"    o
x       i18n/en.json    /^    "x": {$/;"        o       object:welcome

The tags output you expect:

...
!_TAG_PROGRAM_URL       https://ctags.io/       /official site/
!_TAG_PROGRAM_VERSION   6.1.0   /v6.1.0/
c       i18n/en.json    /^      "c": "hello {{.Name}}"$/;"      s       object:welcome.x
welcome i18n/en.json    /^  "welcome": {$/;"    o
x       i18n/en.json    /^    "x": {$/;"        o       object:welcome
welcome.x       i18n/en.json    /^    "x": {$/;"        o       object:welcome
welcome.x.c      i18n/en.json    /^    "c": "hello {{.Name}}"$/;"        o       object:welcome.x

The JSON parser didn't support to emit full-qualified tags.
I made the parser support it in #4165.
You must specify --extras=+q on the command line to emit full-qualified tags.
