lspower



A Language Server Protocol
implementation for Rust based on Tower







## Note

__This crate has been re-merged with [tower-lsp](https://github.com/ebkalderon/tower-lsp) and is now deprecated.__

## Description

Tower is a simple and composable framework for implementing asynchronous
services in Rust. Central to Tower is the [`Service`] trait, which provides the
necessary abstractions for defining request/response clients and servers.
Examples of protocols implemented using the `Service` trait include
[`hyper`] for HTTP and [`tonic`] for gRPC.

[`Service`]: https://docs.rs/tower-service/
[`hyper`]: https://docs.rs/hyper/
[`tonic`]: https://docs.rs/tonic/

This library (`lspower`) provides a simple implementation of the Language
Server Protocol (LSP) that makes it easy to write your own language server. It
consists of three parts:

* The `LanguageServer` trait which defines the behavior of your language server.
* The `LspService` delegate wrapping your server and which defines the protocol.
* A `Server` which spawns `LspService` and processes messages over `stdio` or TCP.

## Example

```rust
use lspower::jsonrpc::Result;
use lspower::lsp::*;
use lspower::{Client, LanguageServer, LspService, Server};

#[derive(Debug)]
struct Backend {
client: Client,
}

#[lspower::async_trait]
impl LanguageServer for Backend {
async fn initialize(&self, _: InitializeParams) -> Result {
Ok(InitializeResult::default())
}

async fn initialized(&self, _: InitializedParams) {
self.client
.log_message(MessageType::INFO, "server initialized!")
.await;
}

async fn shutdown(&self) -> Result<()> {
Ok(())
}
}

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
let stdin = tokio::io::stdin();
let stdout = tokio::io::stdout();

let (service, messages) = LspService::new(|client| Backend { client });
Server::new(stdin, stdout)
.interleave(messages)
.serve(service)
.await;
}
```

## Differences with tower-lsp

`lspower` is a fork of the [`tower-lsp`](https://github.com/ebkalderon/tower-lsp) crate.

The main differences between these crates are the following:

* `lspower` is currently maintained while `tower-lsp` development seems to have stopped
* `lspower` has had several significant refactorings and bug-fixes since the fork
* `lspower` supports the current LSP spec including more features like semantic tokens
* `lspower` supports sending custom requests from server to client
* `lspower` supports cancellation tokens (and server to client `$/cancelRequest` notifications)
* `lspower` doesn't *require* `tokio` but also works with `async-std`, `smol`, and `futures`
* `lspower` is compatible with WASM targets (resolving: [tower-lsp#187](https://github.com/ebkalderon/tower-lsp/issues/187))
* `lspower` has fewer dependencies (from replacing `nom` with `httparse`)
* `lspower` parses message streams more efficiently and minimizes unnecessary reparsing
* `lspower` recovers faster from malformed messages (SIMD accelerated via `twoway`)

## Using lspower with runtimes other than tokio

By default, `lspower` is configured for use with `tokio`.

Using `lspower` with other runtimes requires disabling `default-features` and
enabling the `runtime-agnostic` feature:

```toml
[dependencies.lspower]
version = "*"
default-features = false
features = ["runtime-agnostic"]
```
