-Starting in Visual Studio 2017, you can open code from nearly any type of directory-based project into Visual Studio without the need for a solution or project file. When there is no project or solution file, you can specify custom build tasks and launch parameters through JSON configuration files. This article describes the `launch.vs.json` file, which specifies debugging parameters.  See [Develop code in Visual Studio without projects or solutions](https://docs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/ide/develop-code-in-visual-studio-without-projects-or-solutions) for more information about the "Open Folder" feature.
