# analysis_server
A long-running process that provides analysis results to other tools.
The analysis server is designed to provide on-going analysis of one or more code
bases as those code bases are changing.
## Using the server
The analysis server is not intended to be used stand-alone, and therefore does
not have a human-friendly user interface.
Clients (typically tools, such as an editor) are expected to run the analysis
server in a separate process and communicate with it using a JSON protocol. The
protocol is specified in the file [`analysis_server/doc/api.html`][api].
