Where's the documentation?

I have a strong bias towards answering in the form of documenation.

Please do! Each declaration should be documented. An example LSP server would also be very helpful.

I am exclusively a client developer, unfortunately. I factored this work out from a very large contribution made by @koliyo in the base type library http://github.com/ChimeHQ/LanguageServerProtocol. That was required to keep the client side stuff well-factored for existing users.

So, this library is really atypical for me, in the sense that I actually didn't write any of it. But, I definitely assume responsibly for it. In this specific case, it will take a me a little time.

Can you help me understand what you are looking at doing? I can better prioritize what needs to be done first that way.

I'm trying to understand what someone needs to write in order to use this thing.

Ah.

The project this all originated from is here: https://github.com/koliyo/hylo-lsp. I'm going to use that as a reference to understand how this bit of code was extracted.

I've begun with a very basic explanation of how to establish a JSON-RPC communications channel. This is the first step in creating a server. That was trickier, because it involves code that isn't only in this repository.

Next up, an example of how to use the EventDispatcher type to route messages to a RequestHandler-conforming type.

I've also begun the process of getting hosted DocC going. That will take a few days. Update: actually minutes! Swift Package Index continues to be a pleasure to use!
