Akos Kitta (TypeFox GmbH): Connecting your Xtext language with the Monaco Editor using the Language Server Protocol

Microsoft has announced an open-source protocol [1] that one can use to add support for a new programming language to VS Code [2] by implementing a language server or by just installing an existing one into the tooling as an extension. VS Code is an IDE which is powered by the open-source Monaco Editor [3]. The communication between the Monaco Editor and the language server is done through the JSON-based Language Server Protocol (LSP). One of the fundamental characteristics of the Monaco Editor is that it can run in a browser outside of its home.

The LSP aims to change the game in tooling support. Most programming languages have been optimized for use with a single tool, which might limit the opportunities for language providers to reach a wider audience. The common protocol gives developers access to intelligence for many languages within their favorite tools. Developers can access language and tooling assistants including content proposal, live validation, syntax coloring, refactoring and much more within an IDE, a simple editor or even from a browser of their own choice.

In this short demo, I would like to briefly talk about the LSP4J [4], which is a Java implementation of the protocol. Then speak of the Xtext implementation of the language server briefly and last, but not least, I would like to show a Xtext DSL in action from the Monaco Editor.
