On VSCode API, is there a way to get the file structure hierarchy (the outline)?

For example, let's say I have a markdown file opened, I want to get the structure, token, parsed result in any form of the document, so I can pass the data to my extension program (and render on the Treeview for example).

I googled some and found a issue on Github such as this, or SO posts such as this, according to my research I could use something like vscode.DocumentSymbol.children, but this code doesn't show an output. (I could expect this since I just tried to run to see if it works by chance)

So how is it possible? Thanks.

Choose from menu:

View -> Open View

In the list that is shown scroll down and select 'Outline'

Good luck!
