Protocol between IDEs and programming language-specific servers
Language Server Protocol
The Language Server Protocol (LSP) is an open, JSON-RPC-based protocol for use between source-code editors or integrated development environments (IDEs) and servers that provide "language intelligence tools": Programming language-specific features like code completion, syntax highlighting and marking of warnings and errors, as well as refactoring routines. The goal of the protocol is to allow programming language support to be implemented and distributed independently of any given editor or IDE. In the early 2020s, LSP quickly became a "norm" for language intelligence tools providers. In LSP, the editor or IDE acts as a client and communicates with a language server that analyzes code and provides language specific functionality. The client notifies the server about actions, including opening/modifying files. It can additionally request operations such as code completion, navigation, formatting, and refactoring. The server then returns the requested information or edits. This separation...
