Description

I would like to see the vscode extension have a configuration to prevent loading & subsequently crashing due to large xml files. If a file is greater than a defaulted size.. don't try to send to language server and show a message perhaps show a vscode notification as to why.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the VS Code extension's document-loading and language-server entry points, then identify where configuration settings and user notifications are handled. The issue is complete when oversized XML files are skipped based on a configurable default limit and the user is told why; no file or test is named, so repository exploration is required.
