What problem does it solve?
Connects Visual Studio extensions to an external Language Server Protocol (LSP) server to provide rich language features such as IntelliSense, diagnostics, and navigation for new languages.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Establishes LSP-based communication between Visual Studio extensions and a language server (out-of-process with VisualStudio.Extensibility or in-process with VSSDK/VSIX).
- Supports defining custom document types, launching and wiring language servers, and handling initialization.
- Use Case: Add complete language support to a VS extension for a brand-new language, enabling editor features in all three extensibility models.
Quick Start
Start the language server and wire it to your extension using ILanguageClient or LanguageServerProvider.
