Unable to set json as language in monoco editor

[rajasingh012]

In my asp.net core mvc view, i have following code

<script type="module"> 
import * as monaco from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/monaco-editor@latest/+esm'; 
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { 
  monaco.editor.create(document.getElementById('editor-container'), {
    value: '{\n  "key": "value"\n}',
    language: 'json',
    theme: 'vs-dark',
    minimap: {
                enabled: false
            }
  });
});
</script>
<div id="editor-container" style="width:800px;height:600px;border:1px solid #ccc;"></div>

But, browser console, shows the following error message

standaloneLanguages.js:275 Uncaught (in promise) Error: Cannot set tokens provider for unknown language json
