Publisher's Synopsis
Understand the important aspects of implementing a production-grade language server in support of language-smart tools such as code editors and other programming utilities. This book shows you how to create a single implementation of a language server that can be used by multiple tools, enabling you to do the job once in a way that can be shared and reused.
- Implement a language server from scratch
- Understand language server protocol and its data models
- Leverage the protocol while preserving the unique user experience of different editors
- Extend the protocol to support more than its standard capabilities
- Run a language server on top of launchers such as standard I/O and TCP socket
- Seamlessly incorporate language semantics into your protocol features
Developers focused on and passionate about implementing language development tools such as plug-ins and extensions for interactive development environments (IDEs) or other tools that rely upon parsing of language statements and commands, and developers who need an in-depth understanding of the language server protocol as well as how to use the language server protocol to develop extensible language services
