Hi, I would like to request a new module and repository for an implementation of the JSON RPC and Language Server protocols:
Name of the repository: qt/qtlanguageserver.git Description: An implementation of the language server protocol Responsible person: Ulf Hermann Gerrit user/email: ulf.herm...@qt.io You can see my previous work on this in the context of the QML language server here: https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtdeclarative/+/243394 https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtdeclarative/+/233778 The relevant specifications can be found at: https://www.jsonrpc.org/specification https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specifications/specification-3-14/ The JSON RPC implementation might be moved to QtNetwork, instead. I'm eager to hear opinions on this. Mind that the JSON RPC protocol implementation doesn't depend on any network classes, but only on QIODevice. Indeed you can run many existing language servers over stdio. Mind also that the language server _protocol_ implementation shown in above changes can be used to build both language servers _and_ clients for language servers. The basic primitives are automatically generated from the specification itself. There currently is no good place for the language server code in any existing modules. We should not commit it to qtdeclarative, as it would be useful for a number of other applications, too: It turned out that we need a language server protocol implementation not only for the QML language server, but also for the language client in Qt Creator. Qt Creator is using its own, manually written, client-only, implementation right now. We should strive to maintain only one Qt-based language server protocol implementation. Another idea is to add rich support for CSS in the style editor of the designer by using some existing CSS language server. More generally, we could make the integration of existing Qt text editing facilities with language support (auto-completion, diagnostics, etc) easier by providing a generic language server API. best regards, Ulf Hermann _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development
