Description
Hello, and thank you for this extension, it’s been extremely helpful for quickly integrating with AI in my workflow.
I’d like to propose a new feature: the ability to preview data directly in JSON, CSV, and ASCII table formats, similar to how tools like DBeaver or Google BigQuery handle it within the Google Cloud console.
Why this would be valuable:
• Developers could instantly view structured data without leaving the extension.
• Eliminates the need to open a file externally or copy-paste content into another tool.
• Direct AI integration would make it seamless to analyze data right where you’re working.
This would be a huge productivity boost and I believe many devs would love it.

The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points; start by locating the extension's existing data-viewing flow and clarify the supported inputs and preview behavior. Done means users can view data in JSON, CSV, and ASCII table formats within the extension, with the scope and acceptance criteria agreed.
