Write your snippets with ultisnips and convert to json

Introduction

Almost everyone who uses vim became curious about neovim, and among all of these geek guys the great majority has used ultisnips at least for a while. This little article aims to help you to convert ultisnips to vscode format, not because vscode but because the json format is becomming very common. I have found a site that teaches us how perform this task:

npm i -g convert-snippets

Usage

convert-snippets source_file target_file

Automatically detects source_file format and generates target_file

I have used it just once, to convert some snippets to json format as the way I have described in the article.
