JSON Schema: JSON Schema Language Server Contributions

[benjagm]

JSON Schema Language Server Contributions

Brief Description

The Language Server Protocol (LSP) provides a way to write an IDE/editor extension that is compatible with any IDE/editor that supports the LSP. Today, most IDEs/editors support LSP including JetBrains, VSCode, and even Neovim. LSP allows you to provide all the kinds of features you'd expect from an IDE such as inline error messaging, autocomplete, goto definition, linting, and more. We're currently in the early stages of building a language server for JSON Schema.

Expected Outcomes

This might be different that other GSoC projects in that it's not explicit about what aspect of the language server you'll be working on. There will be a prioritized list of tasks and you will work with the maintainer to complete as many tasks as you can in the time allotted for GSoC. Sometimes you'll be working solo and other time pairing with the maintainer. Tasks may include implementing a language server feature, adding linting rules, improving an existing feature, and possibly some bugfixes.

Skills Required

• Familiarity with JavaScript and Node.js
• Familiarity with client/server and RPC architectural styles
• Familiarity with the observer pattern
• Familiarity with JSON Schema
• Ability to work with and understand asynchronous code
• Ability to learn an existing code base and make contributions
• Familiarity with writing and working with automated tests

Thanks for your interest @CaptainTron!! As of now the moment this repository is private. As soon as the mentoring organizations are announced well publish the qualifications task for each project.

@CaptainTron A good place to start is https://code.visualstudio.com/api/language-extensions/language-server-extension-guide. I'd suggest going through that guide and the sample project it describes. Then add some features to the sample project. That should give you an idea of how language servers work and what language server development is like. Once you have a good base-line, you can start looking at some other language server projects to see how they work. Here are a few I've looked at for inspiration,

• https://github.com/typescript-language-server/typescript-language-server
• https://github.com/LuaLS/lua-language-server
• https://github.com/sveltejs/language-tools/tree/master/packages/language-server

I am excited to propose a compelling project focused on leveraging JavaScript and JSON. The goal is to create a dynamic web application that efficiently processes and displays data using JSON. With my skills and knowledge, , ensuring seamless interaction with JSON datasets.

Hi @benjagm , @jdesrosiers, my name is Arun. I want to contribute to the JSON Schema Language Server for GSoC 2024. I have familiarity with JavaScript and TypeScript, and I have built full-stack projects with the MERN stack. I love to explore and learn new things, especially through the GSoC project. GitHub
