[Qt-creator] Question about LSP (language server protocol) implementation re-use

[David Schulz]

Hi Christoph,

Having users of the protocol implementation outside of QtCreator sounds beneficial, and patches are always welcome 😊.  

If you want to have a look at an alternative: Ulf also has a WIP change for an LSP implementation up for review https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/233778/

Greetings
David

|implementation re-use
|
|Hi,
|
|I am interested in implementing a LSP client in Kate.
|As many editors start to use this for light-weight completion/... of a multitude
|of languages, I want to join that fun, too.
|
|Having looked up a bit which implementations for LSP clients are available, the
|only one that will directly work with C++/Qt would be the one in QtCreator.
|
|I can live with it being just GPL licensed.
|
|If I grab the current LSP implementation, mostly the JSON protocol parts, aka
|
|https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt-creator/qt-
|creator.git/tree/src/libs/languageserverprotocol
|
|and adapt it for generic use, is there any interest in getting patches back?
|
|I assume this could be useful for other Qt based applications, too, that want to
|talk with a language server implementation.
|
|(perhaps this could just work out in the reverse direction as using
|KSyntaxHighlighting in creator)
|
|Greetings
|Christoph
