Language Server Protocol

The Language Server Protocol (LSP) is a way for code editors and development tools to communicate with specialized programs called language servers. These servers understand programming languages deeply—like checking syntax, finding errors, or suggesting code improvements—and send this information to the editor. This setup allows developers to get intelligent coding assistance across different editors and languages without needing to install separate tools for each. Essentially, LSP enables more efficient, consistent, and flexible coding experiences by standardizing how editors access language-specific knowledge.
