Of course there is schema at some level, but it feels like it's not utilized. This UI seems like very good use of schema. Another would be if I open up an VSCode, there should be a way to autocomplete / or give error squiggles if I write something wrong, in realtime.

Right, but that's not as much of a Kubernetes issue as a VSCode issue. Everything's there for you to write something like this for your text editor, open source code doesn't grow on trees :).

My point being if k8s configuration was developed UI centrically, this problem would not exist in the first place. Because there would be official K8s GUI for configuration, one would not hunt and beg bits and pieces of docs every time editing a config file.

As a side note, usually the schema languages fail at some point, thus I referred to TypeScript interfaces, which are very flexible way to write validation.

There is already a schema support for JSON validation in VSCode, one can use it using `{ "$schema" : "https://example.com/url/toschema" }` but it uses JSON Schema format, which I think is not accurate enough in edge cases for UI generation.

If it was developed UI-centric, it would have failed much earlier to do anything useful.

The real power of Kubernetes is that it has very simple basic model that allows building complex constructs out of simple pieces, and in fact basic help (which is even used for UI in kubectl explain.

All the bits for good UI support are there.

VSCode actually has such a plugin, though it has the hard to discover name “Kubernetes” and is maintained by the little-known “Microsoft”
