Microsoft's Language Server Protocol (LSP) addresses the challenge of integrating multiple programming languages with various code editors by providing a standardized way to communicate between editors and language servers. This reduces the need for developing separate plugins for each editor-language combination, instead requiring only a single server implementation per language. LSP utilizes JSON-RPC for communication, enabling asynchronous interactions between clients and servers. Initially driven by Microsoft's Roslyn compiler platform, the LSP was developed in collaboration with Red Hat and Codenvy, and it is widely supported by major editors such as VSCode, Atom, and Sublime Text. The protocol focuses on text-based documents and allows for the exchange of capabilities between clients and servers, facilitating extensibility and reusability in language processing tasks. While LSP has become a crucial tool for enhancing editor functionalities, it does not yet support binary files or shared server instances across multiple clients, highlighting areas for future development.
