Multilspy – Cross platform framework to develop Language Server Clients

multilspy is a cross-platform library designed to simplify the process of creating language server clients to query and obtain results of various static analyses from a wide variety of language servers that communicate over the Language Server Protocol. It is easily extensible to support any language that has a Language Server and currently supports Java, Rust, C# and Python. We aim to continuously add support for more language servers and languages.

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

multilspy is a cross-platform library designed to simplify the process of creating language server clients to query and obtain results of various static analyses from a wide variety of language servers that communicate over the Language Server Protocol. It is easily extensible to support any language that has a Language Server and currently supports Java, Rust, C# and Python. We aim to continuously add support for more language servers and languages. Language servers are tools that perform a variety of static analyses on code repositories and provide useful information such as type-directed code completion suggestions, symbol definition locations, symbol references, etc., over the Language Server Protocol (LSP). Since LSP is language-agnostic, multilspy can provide the results for static analyses of code in different languages over a common interface. multilspy intends to ease the process of using language servers, by handling various steps in using a language server: * Automatically handling the download of platform-specific server binaries, and setup/teardown of language servers * Handling JSON-RPC based communication between the client and the server * Maintaining and passing hand-tuned server and language specific configuration parameters * Providing a simple API to the user, while executing all steps of server-specific protocol steps to execute the query/request. Some of the analyses results that multilspy can provide are: * Finding the definition of a function or a class (textDocument/definition) * Finding the callers of a function or the instantiations of a class (textDocument/references) * Providing type-based dereference completions (textDocument/completion) * Getting information displayed when hovering over symbols, like method signature (textDocument/hover) * Getting list/tree of all symbols defined in a given file, along with symbol type like class, method, etc. (textDocument/documentSymbol)

    Hey there HN! We’re Joe and Stopa, and today we’re open sourcing InstantDB, a client-side database that makes it easy to build real-time and collaborative apps like Notion and Figma. Building modern apps these days involves a lot of schleps. For a basic CRUD app you need to spin up servers, wire up endpoints, integrate auth, add permissions, and then marshal data from the backend to the frontend and back again. If you want to deliver a buttery smooth user experience, you’ll need to add optimistic updates and rollbacks. We do these steps over and over for every feature we build, which can…
